G-Day fails to drop hints on new quarterback

Since the Georgia football team began Spring practices this year, one question has been looming of the team's head: who will be the new quarterback?

The Bulldogs' annual G-Day scrimmage game last Saturday at Sanford Stadium was supposed to answer that question and give fans a glimpse of their future signal caller.

It didn't.

Instead, it left the fans, who filled the entire South side of the stadium, with the same questions they had when they entered, as the 17-7 White team win over the Red team didn't reveal the most ambiguous (and most important) position to fill this offseason.

Many fans expected Red team Aaron Murray to impress the most, as he has been the reported No. 1 quarterback all Spring. But the redshirt freshman was instead a mediocre 10-for-22 with 96 yards and no touchdowns, including the only interception of the day.

Meanwhile, his head competitor in the position battle, fellow redshirt freshman Zach Mettenberger, used Murray's bad day to his advantage, going 6-for-10 for 150 yards and two touchdowns and being a catalyst in his team's victory.

So instead of reassuring fans that Murray is the go-to guy for the rest of spring and for the regular season, there's still no green light for the redshirt freshmen. Because Mettenberger is suspended for the first game of the season for a slew of criminal charges made against him in Valdosta, there's still no telling who will be starting Georgia's home opener against Louisiana-Lafayette on September 4.

However, this bodes well for Murray, who is now the favorite to start against the Rajun Cajuns, and a strong performance in that game could cushion his first string status for the rest of season.

And what about Logan Gray? Yeah, that other guy. The third quarterback in the Bulldogs' system. He was an also-impressive 10-for-17 for 132 yards and a touchdown, which keeps him in contention for the starting spot, but highly unlikely after a less-than-spectacular career thus far.
