Head Coach Mark Richt
Opening statement…
"Okay we've got Troy, the Troy Trojans, coming in here. Last time they came in here we scored somewhere in the forties and they scored somewhere in the thirties. I think it's the second time we've ever played Troy here at Georgia. Coach [Larry] Blakeney has been there 24 years. He’s won more games in his league than all the other coaches combined in his league. He got the field named after him. But great coach, and they do a wonderful job there. Been doing it for years."
"They’ve actually got 10 guys in the NFL. They have NFL talent in their program. They’ve got more NFL players from their team than anybody in their league. They’ve got a veteran team. Nineteen out of 22 starters are either a junior or a senior, which is a very high number. [They have] a lot of guys who have played a lot of ball for them."
On Troy’s offense…
"On offense, [there are] a lot of juniors and seniors. Only two are not. There’s a sophomore and a freshman in the bunch."
"The quarterback, [Brandon] Silvers (No. 12), I don’t know if he will play or not. I guess he had a concussion in the last ball game and was replaced by [Dontreal] Pruitt (No. 1). Pruitt came in and did a heck of a job. Both are very athletic quarterbacks, guys that can throw the ball as well. I’m very impressed by their athleticism and ability to throw the deep ball especially. They’ve got some receivers that do a great job."
"They’re a fast-paced offense. Last year they had one game with over 100 plays in one game. So their goal is to go fast, and they do a great job.
They’ve led the league in passing and total offense the last four years. They’ve got a very good offensive scheme. They know what they’re doing, and they have the personnel to get it done. They have eight returning starters on offense."
"Their quarterbacks, getting back to them, have thrown no interceptions this year and have done a great job with that. And they actually are the best in America when it comes to spreading the ball around. They have 16 different guys that have caught a ball, and I think that ties with Texas A&M for the most in the country."
On Troy’s defense…
"Talking about their defense, every single one of their starters is either a junior or senior as well. There’s one freshman, Jamal Stadom. But [they have] a lot of veteran football players there."
"They play a lot of man coverage [in the secondary]. They’ve challenged the receivers that they’ve played on the film I’m watching. They do play some zone, too, but they’re not afraid to come up and try to lock you down. The two seniors at the corner position are both very capable defenders so I expect a great game."
