If you had just watched the first half, wouldn't your question be "Does Lee play again?"

The coaches see these guys every day in practice and know what they are capable of. Don't forget that Hatch rushed for 51 yards and that we were able to move the ball with him in there.

I honestly think that we would also have won the game if Hatch had played all 60 minutes. Yes, Lee played well, but the bigger difference was the improved OL play and the fact that the OL and the freight train that is Charles Scott simply wore out the AU defense. Our defense, in contrast, stayed fresh with the rotations in our DL.

yes because lee made a mistake. not because hatch did anything impressive at all.

lee made plays, all hatch did was not throw any int's. this time.

the difference is that lee made plays and hatch cant make plays. we would not have won this game with hatch. you cant beat good teams on a consistent basis with a qb who cant complete a pass 15 yards down the field.

We actually don't know this since uh well Hatch got knocked out.

I am willing to bet the Coaches give both players a lot of time in the State game because thayt will be one of the last opportunities to do it (if Hatch is healthy)

true you dont know it for sure, but id say when hatch has yet to complete passes other than screens its safe to speculate. we got back in the game due to the oline stepping up, recievers stepping up and lee making plays down the field.

i dont think hatch should never play again, i do think you roll with lee just like uga rolled with stafford when he was a freshman.

hatch can be a change of pace guy in certain situations. i dont even think he has D1 arm strength though. he literally cant throw a decent pass 10 yardsd

I just expectee Hatch get a lot of play ijn the next game. All year long we have kept hearing what this players can and can not do and it mostly has been wrong.

I expect Les would allow Hatch to have a chance to prove himself after pretty much sacrificing himself up to the team.

Again I am not like the first poster on here that started this thread that was dishing Hatch and gets his thrills off playing on QB on another. I like Lee and will be comfortable with him leading us.

I am not just threatened and I don't think Lee is either by having Hatch some in the next game to see what he could do. Pretty much Hatch has beaten out Lee from Spring PRactice till yesterday in the 2 nd half and MIles and Staff kept putting him here.

Just saying I would not be shocked to see if this QB battle is not exactly over yet

Lee should get all of the meaningful snaps for the rest of the year unless he's hurt, or we are winning by 28.

Anything else is plain stupid.

You might as well line Lafell KW, CS, Chad Jones up at QB if you are going to put Hatch in. They can all run better than him.

I don't think that is true. Someone made the comment that the OL opens better holes for Scott than KW?
Lee gets the ball off quicker than Hatch which makes it appear that the line is blocking better. Do you think Hatch could have made any of the big completions that Lee made?
