Georgia head coach Mark Richt was up to his usual tricks against Florida, today, when he conveniently lifted the injury off of star running back Todd Gurley. Gurley has missed the last three games, in which the Bulldogs have gone 1-2 in those contests, but wouldn't ya know, as soon Florida comes up on the schedule, he's healthy all of a sudden. The win-at-all-costs Richt tried to excuse his actions by saying Gurley was "healthy" and "cleared to practice" and "barring any setbacks" would play. This isn't the first time Richt has pulled chicanery such as this before the big showdown with Florida. In 2011, he waited until after the Florida game to suspend running back Isaiah Crowell who failed a drug test. When asked if it was a coincidence that Gurley's good health just happened to come before Florida, the untrustworthy Richt firmly stated, "yes," proving furthermore that he has no integrity by not answering the question truthfully. Meanwhile, the always forthcoming Will Muschamp announced today that his team is healthy and ready to go.
