I would have to say Rosier, but how many would be shocked if it is Evan "the machine" Sherriffs?
It is arguable that Rosier had the better numbers in both scrimmages
but is Richt solely focusing on that, or also how these guys performed in the Spring?
I believe there was one actual scrimmage where all the qbs were live (when Allison got hurt) and Richt hedged on future live scrimmages afterwards. It's a little different when you know you can't be hit.
If Sherriffs wins it, I will go out on a limb and say this scrimmage was the one that may have sealed it in Richt's mind. Not so much for the
numbers, but for how well one faced actual pressure, overcame fear of getting hit, bounced back after getting knocked on his @ss, and made good decisions with the ball versus the other guy.
Who is the guy that will not buckle, make bone headed plays when a 300 lb tackle is in their face, who will best keep the huddle calm under adversity? These intangibles may be enough to override whatever statistical advantage one had over the other. May the best man win. It just may not be who you think it is, but I will ride with either one because I want the team to win.
