Right to redshirt
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Eighteen of Georgia’s 25 enrolled recruits redshirted this season. Meanwhile, the defending SEC champs have struggled on the field, losing to teams they were used to beating like Vandy and Kentucky.
Georgia coach Mark Richt says redshirting the players has preserved the team’s future. “The assistant coaches were wanting to let some of these guys play and allow them to work on special teams and get reps and that kind of thing,” Richt said. “I tried to look at the big picture and see if we could hold off from doing it. There are certainly guys that could be helping us right now, there is no doubt.”
Has Richt done the right thing by redshirting so many players? Could the Bulldogs have had a better season if they’d used more of the talented freshmen? If so, who should they have played?
