JOE COX VS. LOGAN GRAY Backup quarterback Logan Gray will get at least one series Saturday, and offensive coordinator Mike Bobo said it would likely come in the first half. If he does well, even though it's against a team with two losses in the Ohio Valley Conference, it will open up the door for more griping from Georgia fans about Gray's replacing Joe Cox.
Let's face it - Tennessee Tech isn't the toughest of opponents. The Golden Eagles are the only FCS team on Georgia's 2009 schedule, and they have two losses in the Ohio Valley conference. The last time Georgia and Tennessee Tech hooked up was during World War II.

With Georgia mired in a 4-4 season, the media, the message boards and the fan base have erupted in debate. Should Bulldog coaches be held responsible? Is it the players' fault? What should be done? There's no clear answer. Here's our two-sided look at why Georgia coaches should and should not be on the hot seat.
Logan Gray has been chasing approval since his first day in Athens. The sophomore backup quarterback has heard all the naysayers discarding him because of size and passing skills. He's ready to prove he's an SEC quarterback. Coach Mark Richt is ready to give him more time on the field to prove it.
And so life begins without Adriel Jeremiah Green - at least for this weekend. Georgia's biggest playmaker is sidelined with a bruised lung, replaced by freshman Rantavious Wooten. Wooten has four catches for 91 yards this season. Those are ordinary one-game statistics for Green.
Whenever a small town kid returns home, it's with open arms and open admiration. In the case of Bacarri Rambo, Georgia's freshman safety with the tough-as-nails name, you would think it would be even more so. In sporadic playing time, Rambo has two interceptions (one returned for a touchdown) for the Bulldogs, tied for the team lead.
