What did Mark Richt Say About QBs at Miami Football Media Day?
Richt is looking for more than just how players will react to adversity during a game. With tough games, nearly every week in the ACC he is also going to need a quarterback who can bounce back after a rough game. He said:
"“How are you going to react if you have a rough day overall – can you recover and be mature enough to go back and compete? The goal is to try to be as equal as I can with the reps with the one unit and two unit, and even the three unit sometimes. Then you learn a lot. Kids think, ‘I can only show what I can do behind the [first-string] offensive line.’ No, you’re showing me what to do behind the [second-string] line. I want to see how you’re going to react to a little bit of adversity.”"
Sheriffs and Rosier have a much better grasp of the offense at this point. Richt discussed what he expects to see from his quarterbacks.
"“I need to see from all the quarterbacks, the two young guys in particular, to show they know what to do"
Why they made the decision to throw the ball to a certain receiver is just as important to him as the outcome.
