For decades, there’s been a saying if football that the backup quarterback is the most popular player on the team. An interception or a few incomplete passes from the starting quarterback always seem to prompt some pocket of fans to clamor for the coach to give the backup a shot. Or in some cases, for the backup to unseat the starter entirely.
There’s been a lot of that inside the Bulldog Nation following the 38-12 win Georgia football had Saturday against the Tennessee Volunteers. Oh how this fan base has come full circle. Just two years ago, some said Jake Fromm would easily start over Jacob Eason.
