Richt surprises me all the time. This should not have happened. I have seen firsthand and also witnessed on the sidelines how things said before a game on the college level do make a difference, sometimes a big difference.
One of the most vivid memories was when a top receiver once said he was the best in the conference and going against the opponent's defense was like "taking candy from a baby".
He went from hero to zero real quick when game day rolled around, and after the game his words were on the lips of every defensive player on the opposing team. This was the only team to shut him down and they completely shut him down. It was their rallying point, very clear to see. They turned his words against him and his team.
Big mistake. You don't see Saban allowing this sort of thing. In a battle, one of the keys to success is limiting communication that could hurt you and you'd think Georgia's "mentor" would know this important fact. Lack of control.
