I don't think Richt will use this as material but I am sure the players will get wind of it and take it personally. I think he may be in for a Looooong day.

Fellows made the following comments this week regarding the upcoming game
"I don't think Georgia has the best receivers we've seen," said Fellows, a freshman. "I think Louisiana Tech's are better."
Does anyone agree?
''I don't think they are the best we have faced. I think Louisiana Tech's receivers are underrated. I think the Georgia receivers are very good and speedy, but I don't think they are the best receivers we have faced. I think Florida will be the best receiving corps overall that we will face this year.''
Phantom smack talk: A story in the Athens (Ga.) Banner-Herald on Tuesday quoted Fellows as saying that the Louisiana Tech receivers were better than Gibson and Brown.
The only problem is that's not what Fellows said when asked by Tennessee-based reporters if Gibson and Brown were the best receivers the Vols have faced this season. Tennessee players are not available on Mondays to out-of-town media.
His exact quote was: ''I don't think they are the best we have faced. I think Louisiana Tech's receivers are underrated. I think the Georgia receivers are very good and speedy, but I don't think they are the best receivers we have faced. I think Florida will be the best receiving corps overall that we will face this year.''
Still, the damage was done.
Georgia Coach Mark Richt was asked yesterday on the SEC teleconference about the Fellows quote that appeared in the Athens newspaper. Naturally, Richt seemed to eat it up.
''Yeah, that's good stuff,'' Richt said. ''That's the kind of stuff that you don't even have to post. You guys ask them about it and tell them about it, and there will probably be some pre-game hype on it and everything else. That's good stuff. That helps motivate our guys, for sure.''

If I were an opposing team, I'd just take a knee on first and second down in order to set up third and long!
