What did Mark Richt Say About QBs at Miami Football Media Day?

Where did they go with the football, who did they throw it to and why? Richt said:

"“I always say, ‘they went to the right guy for the right reason.’ Sometimes you might throw to the right guy and I ask you, on film [review], ‘why did you do what you did?’, and they can’t tell me why. They just got lucky. Sometimes they get lucky. I want them to tell me, ‘I did it because I knew it was a one-high coverage and the mic [linebacker] went this way so I went that way with the ball.’ I want them to do the right thing and I want them to know why he did the right thing…what happens is, when you get into a game and everything starts flying a little faster – and with a rookie it’ll go faster in the beginning… With a veteran it tends to go slower because they’re confident in what they’re doing – I’m trying to get them to create habits that will carry them when they’re a little bit nervous, or carry them when they’re a little bit tired, or carry them when they get hit in the mouth and have to go back and drop back in the pocket again, and trust protection and trust the process of how we teach them to read coverages and things like that.”"

The final decision at quarterback is almost definitely going to come down between Rosier and Sheriffs. With Richt’s emphasis on experience and making the right decision, the educated guess is that Rosier earns the nod to lead the Miami Football program as the signal caller.
