He got in the game because of it and made a couple of plays. Thats what we saw in high school tape, what we saw in practice.
Thats where Hightower did a great job of holding his ground and giving space to the outside so when he got away from the defender, it was in bounds. We werent giving a lot of space to work with on the sideline. The one thing he has done on the deep ball down the sidelines is he gives the quarterback space on the outside. Richt, on freshman receiver Brian Hightowers 32-yard touchdown catch: Hes done that at practice, too. There was one crossing route kind of behind him and he could have said, tough catch, but I made two or three other catches but he still made the effort to catch that ball. When you come out of high school, theres a different level of effort it takes to become consistently great. Richt loves what hes seeing from sophomore receiver Jeff Thomas, who had 132 yards on five receptions. Richt mentioned, incidentally, that the blocking from the receiver position Sunday wasnt what were used to. We could have done this better, should have done this better.
Mark Richt was more positive in his postgame assessment than some might have expected, but he conceded on WQAMs Hurricane Hotline that there were a lot of mistakes made. I think globally, weve done a good job of taking that egregious hit over the middle out of the game.īut on a bang-bang play like this the games not played in super slow-mo now. The only player weve had get a concussion since weve been teaching this way was when an offensive player lowered their head into us last year. I think weve done a good job No one coaches tackling without the head harder than we do. Itd be like throwing a guy out of an NBA game just for a foul.īut I do think its unfair for defensive players in that scenario.ĭiaz added: I dont blame anybody for following the rules as they are written right now, but there should be two types of targeting penalties. Theres not another sport where we disqualify a player for a technique that had no malintent. Its an absurd rule to require that players be thrown out of the game if they make a tackle leading with their helmet.
