Matt Stafford started as a true freshman after Joe Tereshinski got injured. JT never got his job back.
Aaron Murray started as a R-Freshman after Mettenberger got kicked out (not really the same I know.)
So as far as choosing a younger QB over a healthy older QB, I don't think so. But he hasn't been averse to going with a young QB or sticking with one.
And the only reason Murray redshirted was because he developed dead arm. Most UGA fans will tell you that Murray was Richt's guy, and would have started over the senior Cox as a true freshman. But physically he couldn't go, so Cox started, and Murray got the job the next year.
David Greene also started as a redshirt freshman, although I don't know if he did it over a returning upperclassman. I think he replaced Quincy Carter?
