Here are a few notable quotes from Mark Richt following the first scrimmage of fall camp.
On the defense: “I thought defensively, we played the run pretty darn good. The number one defense would have had probably every one of those sacks we recorded. They were really coming off the edge and creating issues for the second team line.”
On the team’s health: “One of the blessings is that nobody got banged up. Well, somebody might have gotten banged up, but no one got hurt enough to leave the field.”
On discipline: “We had a few penalties. I didn’t think it was a massive amount… We had ACC officials and I told them to call it like they call it in a game. We had a holding on a screen play you should never have. We didn’t have any pre-snap alignment problems."
On players who stepped up today: “I’ve just been very pleased with Brad (Kaaya). He’s been very, very solid and today he was locked in. (David) Njoku caught a pass 2-3 yards short of the first-down and guys were bee bee-ing him and he kept his balance and made a nice run. Same thing with Yearby.”
On the cornerbacks: “I know we had a busted assignment on the long play with Dayall. It was a total busted coverage. The safety inverted weak so my guess is the corner was supposed to have him, but the safety might have been the one who made the mistake…we have to be careful that when we break on the ball, we better secure the tackle because if not he can go a long way with it.”
On the backup QB situation: “It’s been frustrating trying to figure out who the second guy is. I talked to them last night about after this scrimmage, we might start repping one guy with the twos and one guy with the threes and getting that guy ready. After I look at the tape I’ll decide. Right now I don’t know for sure.”
**Richt noted that Ryan Mayes had a pick-6 off of Brad Kaaya.
**Linebacker Mike Pinckney practiced today. Richt says that he has been “hobbling around”, but that they’ve done all the testing he needs and that there is nothing to worry about.

Thanks for update.
