Freshman quarterback Jacob Eason will receive his first start when No. 9 Georgia plays Nicholls on Saturday. Junior Brice Ramsey also had been in the competition until it was narrowed to just Eason and Lambert near the end of camp late last month. Eason, from Lake Stevens, Washington, was regarded by some services as the nation's top high school quarterback in this year's recruiting class. Lambert, who is 11-2 as a starter at Georgia after arriving from Virginia as a graduate transfer, went 5 of 8 for 54 yards and was sacked three times. Eason sparked the Bulldogs after Lambert struggled early, completing 8-of-12 passes for 131 yards and showing no hesitation to throw deep.
Unfortunately, Nicholls State answered back the next drive and scored a touchdown via a 20-yard pass to Nicholls wide receiver Jarrell Rogers from Fourcade. This start is great practice for an upcoming three-game stretch - at Missouri, at MS, vs. Tennessee - that could shape how competitive Georgia is in the SEC East.
