Georgia's Richt on QBs: 'I couldn't name a starter right now if I wanted to'

All three of the quarterbacks fighting for the starting job, Aaron Murray, Zach Mettenberger and Logan Gray, flashed varying degrees of impressiveness during UGA's annual spring game. Although nothing is concrete, as to who has the edge, as of now. “I know everybody wants to know what’s going on, they want to know who the starter is,” Richt said. “I couldn’t name a starter right now if I wanted to.”
Richt said a depth chart will be coming by the end of next week to give fans — and the quarterbacks — at least a small glimpse into who might eventually win the battle, but even that is still a long way from finding a long-term solution.
Gray, Mettenberger and Murray will all meet with offensive coordinator Mike Bobo in the coming week and learn a bit more about where they stand in the pecking order, but that’s far from the same as naming a starter.
“It matters some, but ultimately everybody’s going to have to compete again during fall camp, go out and take reps and make plays and run the offense again,” said Gray, who played the entire first half of Saturday’s G-Day game with the No. 1 unit offense, completing 10-of-17 passes for 132 yards and a touchdown.
Gray’s performance was solid, if unspectacular, but at the least he proved he belonged in the competition. When the 2009 season ended, Gray seriously considered a position change, seeing his future at quarterback as rather bleak. Instead, his spring has been strong enough to keep him in the mix for the starting job.
It was Mettenberger, however, who stole the show Saturday. The redshirt freshman hit walk-on receiver Rhett McGowan on a 20-yard touchdown pass and tight end Arthur Lynch on a 39-yard score in the second quarter to secure the 17-7 win for the black team.
Mettenberger finished the game 6-of-10 passing for 150 yards and two touchdowns and showed off a cannon arm that receiver A.J. Green compared favorably to former Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford.
