Unpopular opinion alert:
Georgia's best shot to beat Alabama would be if Eason comes back and plays to his potential. He's got the requisite arm strength to hit throws in tight windows that you have to throw to beat Alabama. He also has the arm to stretch the field to keep a defense like Alabama honest. I loved Aaron Murray, and have always defended him on this board and thought he was a criminally underrated QB, but his underthrow of Conley on that deep ball late in the second quarter was a big turning point in the 2012 SECCG. Murray didn't quite have the arm to get it there. A stronger arm gets Conley for a TD. Instead, Clinton-Dix was just barely able to pick it off. It's stuff like that that makes the difference against Alabama.
I told someone yesterday that Fromm could get us to Alabama but Eason playing at his full potential could beat them, similar to the way Mettenberger put LSU in position to beat them in 2012.
Unless you have Deshaun Watson, this is your best shot.

He did, but he didnt put enough air under it on this play. Thats the same thing Eason does on his deep throws, so its funny to see you advocate for him when its Fromm who has the touch you wanted out of Murray on that play. Our best shot is if he continues to grow into the position, and the OL improves too. Eason doesnt have the feet or accuracy to be better than Fromm.
