UGA’s Joe Cox Keeps Job After ‘Reality Check’

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - Joe Cox knows he’s not the only reason Georgia won’t win the SEC or play in a major bowl this season.
The quarterback can’t be blamed for Georgia giving up more points or rushing for fewer yards per game than any team in the Southeastern Conference.
After taking one day earlier this week to consider benching Cox, coach Mark Richt is sticking with the senior for Saturday’s game against Tennessee Tech.
Cox says it made sense for the coach to consider a switch at quarterback following an ugly loss to Florida. He says a change at quarterback “can cause a spark” for a struggling team.
Georgia (4-4) needs a spark to avoid a losing season, but Cox has the starting job. He says he also has a reality check.
