The Georgia football team had high hopes for the 2017 season. Those hopes were nearly crushed before the team could finish one half of football.
On the third drive of the Bulldogs’ opening game, sophomore quarterback Jacob Eason went down with a knee injury. A late hit out-of-bounds by an Appalachian State University defender caused Eason to leave the game and miss the team’s next three games.
If it wasn’t for the backup quarterback, freshman Jake Fromm, Georgia’s season could have ended before it even really started.
Instead, Fromm entered against App. State following Eason’s injury and led the Bulldogs to a victory over the Mountaineers.
