UGA has a No. 1 QB entering summer

Georgia has their starting quarterback.
According to the depth chart released by the school, Aaron Murray, as expected, sits atop the QB position, with Logan Gray listed as the backup.
According to head coach Mark Richt's own words, it was a no-brainer to place Murray as the starter.
"On a consistent basis, he performed better than Logan at this point," Richt said according to the Macon Telegraph. "That's really all there is to it. It's the usual things , accuracy, decision making, those types of things."
Perhaps most noteworthy of all the comments made by Richt , as if he had much of a choice, was that Murray would've been the starter even if Mettenberger had been on the team.
Statistically, Mettenberger outperformed the other two QBs in the two scrimmages and the spring game, but apparently the other 12 spring sessions were enough to show Richt that Murray was the guy regardless of who is or isn't on the roster.
Murray entered spring as the favorite to emerge with a hold on the starting job, so we're right back to where we thought we'd be as it relates to the QB situation. It just took one bouncey ride to get here.
