UGA coach Mark Richt said upon the team's arrival in Charlotte on Wednesday night that tight ends coach John Lilly will indeed be calling the plays for the Dec. 30 Belk Bowl against Louisville.

Richt's announcement confirms news first passed along Tuesday by Dawgs247's Rusty Mansell.

Lilly has been on Georgia's staff since prior to the 2008 season as tight ends coach. He was named co-special teams coordinator after this past season, and he will now for this game take the play-calling reins from Mike Bobo, who was hired Monday to be the new head coach at Colorado State.

Richt was asked by reporters in Charlotte if the fact he is not calling plays in the game is an indication that he has decided the next coordinator will certainly call plays and not him.

"We'll see," Richt said. "We're just focused on this game right now."
