GT has returned 2 KO for a TD in their last 423 chances dating back to 2006. The last in 2012. I like our odds kicking deep...

You only squib kick in that situation if there is 5 seconds or so left, only leaving time for one play.
Richt's coaching call was his worst since he's been at Georgia......worse than the Auburn game in 2001.

What he did know was the type of offense GT uses and our success against their pass game, meaning that they were unlikely to pick up the yards they needed on a designed play, assuming we execute appropriately on defense. Anything can happen on a KO return, but I'm sure CMR felt confident we would be able to stop their offense from picking up the yards on defense. Hindsight is 20/20, but I still think it was a legitimate call based on the situation and the information he likely had at the time.
