Georgia Releases Statements From A.J. Green And Mark Richt

The University of Georgia has released statements from A.J. Green and Mark Richt on Green's four-game suspension, under the most helpful headline ever, "A.J. Green's Playing Status Clarified."

Green:

I want to apologize to my coaches, teammates, and the Georgia fans for the mistake in judgment. I very much regret all that has taken place and the distraction that's been caused. I've learned a valuable lesson and hope others can learn from my mistake. I can only focus my attention now on practicing and looking ahead to getting back with my teammates as quickly as possible.

Richt:

Certainly I'm disappointed with the outcome. However, we have games to play and that's where our focus needs to be in the coming days and weeks. Other players will have to step forward and I'm confident they will do that.

Barring some reversal, Green will return for the Dawgs' Oct. 2 date at Colorado.
