Will Richt Bench Cox?
ATLANTA (AP) Georgia coach Mark Richt isn't saying if he plans to bench quarterback Joe Cox.
Cox was yanked from a 41-17 loss to top-ranked Florida after throwing three interceptions, and Richt declined to say Sunday night if the move is permanent. Sophomore Logan Gray also struggled, throwing an interception that was returned for a touchdown.
Another possible option is freshman Aaron Murray, who has yet to play and would lose a redshirt season. Richt says he'll likely announce any lineup changes Tuesday.
One bit of good news for the struggling Bulldogs: Injuries to star receiver A.J. Green and offensive lineman Clint Boling don't appear to be serious.

What others are saying
- COX!!!!!Cox said at the begining of the season he knows he can not play at the next level. It seems to me there is no spark in this team. You have to have a leader and someone to have that drive at the quarterback position; Cox does not have it. Take him out and let's see what Logan has. Can't play Aaron due to him losing his redshirt status. Gotta stick with the DAWGS through the good bad and ugly. GO DAWGS!!!
- Who To BenchYeah, Richt has a good won-loss record, but look at most of the teams he's gotten those wins from...they're mostly not-very-good teams. He has shown time after time that he has trouble winning the "big one".Georgia had 2 weeks to prepare for Florida and they just didn't look like they were into it right from the start.
- Bench CoxBench Cox and the players who get the most penalities. Fire all the defensive coaches and get more effective ones. We need to start a streak of beating the florida gators every year.
- Florida LossIt's definatley time for a change. A change in the QB position and the defensive coaching position. Why does GA continue to make the same penalties over and over? Lack of leadership and lack of concentration. I would bench the repeat offenders and give someone a chance. Come on Richt, show some emotion.
- PenaltiesPenalties are killing Georgia this year, just like last year. I say bench the players causing penalties and play the players that really want to play.
- Will Richt Bench Cox?Who cares? My team won. Go Gators!!
- SweetHeck yeah, bench that ginger. We all saw how effective Logan Gray was. Three more losses and the mutts finish below .500! Come on Auburn and Kentucky, you can do it!
- Bench Coxno...bench the players getting flagrant penalities
- RICHTWhy dont we bench Richt. He is not a leader and all the thug penalties proved it!!!
