1. Jacob Eason will show everything he’s capable of

I said earlier that it will take a lot for Jacob Eason to take the spotlight from Fromm. Well I expect Eason to be able to do that. Here’s a guy who came to Georgia to be the star. he had the best season for a true freshman quarterback in school history but he knows his eventual replacement is already on campus.

He’s taken on a larger role on offense with more control over changes at the line of scrimmage. The offense is opening up. He has more weapons and more blockers than last year. This is going to be his first chance to show fans just how far he’s come in almost five months.

Next: Jacob Eason versus Jake Fromm

Last year Eason made it clear that he was going to lead the offense over Brice Ramsey and Grayson Lambert in the G-Day Game.

This year I expect Eason to make it clear to everyone in attendance that the Georgia offense still belongs to him and not the newcomer Jake Fromm.
