The week of practice will play a major role in whether Jacob Eason or Jake Fromm starts this Saturday against Vanderbilt.

Smart said he did not want to name a starting quarterback. Smart likened naming a starting quarterback to naming a starting cornerback, which isn't something teams typically do.

Smart, however, did note that Eason's health has improved considerably over the recent weeks.

"I do think Jacob is closer to 100 percent," Smart said.

Eason suffered a sprained knee in Georgia's season-opening win over Appalachian State and has not started since. Fromm has started each of the past four games and played the majority of the Appalachian State game following Eason's injury.
