Things are Cook-ing at quarterback
By WAY DUCKWORTH
Will the real Handy Cook
please stand up 9
To tell the truth he could be
anybody to most Georgia fans;
in truth, he is one of the top
three quarterbacks for the
Bulldogs this season
It was just last spring that
the sophomore from Birming
ham burst onto the scene with
a headturmng performance in
his first spring practice as a
Georgia Bulldog
Cook was not sensational in
his debut his most remark
able asset was a super blend o!
pass and run While most
Georgia quarterbacks have
excelled at one or the other, it
seemed that there was finally
a double-barrel threat
i don't want to be labeled
as a passer. ' the sternly
dignified-looking young man
*;od I think 1 can run. even
though I don't have the
blistering speed of a (Steve)
Rogers or (Jeff) Pyburn. Ray
Goff wasn’t really fast "
So. what has happened to the
all around spring standout?
I think a lot of people
already had their minds set on
Steve and Jeff, and it would
have taken some really great
practices this fall for me to
have won the starting job.''
Cook said
Recently. Tony Flannagan
was eliminated as a possible
choice at the quarterback slot
(because of academic pro
blems). "I know that if Tony
was here this week he would
be No. 2 man . if all that hadn’t
happened, they would have
red-shirted me this year."
Cook admitted
Though the chips have been
stacked against the amiable
Alabama native, by his own
admission, no one can deny
that he has also been presented
with some great opportunities,
unfortunately to the disadvan
tage of his fellow quarter
backs.
Then, when it appeared the
entire crew would be healthy
for the '77 season, it turned out
that Tony Flannagan is ineligi
ble. Jeff Pybern is injured
(after starting the first three
games). Rogers is healthy and
starting, but the time may

come for the real Randy Cook ,
to stand up.
Rogers didn’t make it
through the spring and when
his shoulder was injured, Cook ,
took the reigns and turned in a
respectable spring practice
coupled with a fine spring
game.
Now, Cook has won enough
respect to be deemed a likely
candidate to help lead the Dogs
in Saturday’s conflict at
Alabama, even though he has
yet to play a varsity game
“It’s like a homecoming,
some of my old friends go to
Alabama," said Cook, whose 1
ex-teammate Rick Gilliand is a
starling linebacker for the
Crimson Tide. "They are going
to be fired up for the game and
so am I, but right now I can
feel the game building up
inside me pretty strongly.
After that first hit, everything
will be okay, just like another
game."
Cook's view of the game of
football is not philosophically
(he same as some of the
coaches at Georgia, apparent
ly. “I believe there should be
one quarterback; the team
benefits more that way. I’m no
coach and it may seem
self-defeating, (his being se
cond string indicates just that)
but I’ve always felt that way,”
Cook commented with refresh
ing honesty
Randy Cook may not have to
stand up to be recognized in
the future, if, that is, he comes
through on Saturday
