Richt sees little difference in Florida's use of quarterbacks

ATHENS, Ga. -- Two weeks ago, it looked like Georgia would have to scheme against Florida's Will Grier, a talented redshirt freshman, who was starting to show why he was the highly-regarded recruit out of North Carolina.

Grier was the starting quarterback for Florida's first six games, all of which were wins.

However, Grier tested positive for a banned substance in an NCAA drug test, which brought him a year-long suspension. As a result, the Bulldogs will plan for Treon Harris be

hind center for the second consecutive season.

Harris wasn't asked to do much in the passing game in Florida's 38-20 win over Georgia in 2014. He went 3 of 6 for 27 yards while his team totaled 418 rushing yards.

Harris has completed 61 percent of his passes this season, totaling 540 yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions. In Florida's 35-28 loss to LSU, Harris completed 17 of 32 passes for 271 yards and two touchdowns. While Harris is known for his athleticism outside of the pocket, Georgia head coach Mark Richt said there isn't much difference in how Florida has used both of its quarterbacks.

"Grier was actually a very mobile quarterback as well," Richt said. "He made a lot of plays on the move. They do a good job moving the point of where the quarterback sets. They don't always have him in the pocket in the same spot. They'll move him through bootlegs and nakeds and sprint-outs, and things of that nature. They'll sit in there and fire it away as well. We're seeing a lot of the same type of thoughts. Treon is obviously a very athletic guy and has made a lot of athletic plays on the move, throwing and running."
