Once Jake Fromm found his wide receiver Terry Godwin streaking toward the corner of the end zone, all of the noise surrounding Georgia’s quarterback was silenced.
He ran to his teammates while hoisting his fist in the air. While he was reluctant to gush over his performance or elaborate on its magnitude, there was an evident sense of relief. Georgia’s guy was back.
Fromm later said that he wanted to “make a statement.” A performance with 240 yards and three touchdowns in Georgia’s 36-17 win over Florida gave validation in one regard.
That statement was made.
