Georgia fans, when do you think Eason will take over for Lambert?
Could be as early as the second quarter. Lambert will get scared and go into a shell at some point. Always does.
I'd be surprised if Lambert makes it past the UT game.

Tough to tell. I think a lot will have to do with how he performs on Saturday. Eason will play a good bit too I imagine.

Douglas is bad.
If our OL can open holes for Douglas then he will do fine. Last year our OL regressed a lot and he's not a back who can find a crease and take it to the house. BUT open a hole, let him build up a head of steam and he's a load to bring down. He can be perfectly serviceable at RB if the OL gets a push. We'll see.
That being said, suppose that Lambert does have a USC-type night. Do you pull a QB who has the offense running well and risk throwing off the rhythm?

Next week.
The gravity of saturday might simply be too much for a TFr from washington. The thing is he ABSOLUTELY MUST be our starter by ole miss. Period. The week before that we go on the road to mizzou in a night game, you'd kind of like him to be solidified by then too. So that only leaves next week against Nicholls state.
It's obvious to everyone eason is the guy sooner or later, so if I had my druthers I would expect Eason to get somewhere around 40% or so of the snaps saturday to get his feet wet, then turn him loose for ~80% of the snaps agianst nicholls. Then have him be the full time starter by week 3 against missouri.

It's kinda similar to lambert, to be honest. Sure douglas can get you a solid 2/3/4 yards eveyr carry, but he aint breaking one 30 yards. That's just the truth. So we can play him and have him pass protect and rush a few yards at a time, or we can go with someone with less experience who actually has the ability to take one to the house.
I've just never really been big on douglas, but I certainly respect and appreciate his contributions for us.

Average is his best and that ain't gonna cut it. We need big plays.

Lambert is starting for the same reasons Cole Stoudt started for Clemson 2 years ago in Athens.

I would not want a true freshman in there. There is a huge difference in speed if the game from HS and camp scrimmages. Its a different ballgame.
Experience always matters. Thats why Saban has been able to roll in new QBs and still win because he isnt rolling in freshmen, he is rolling in 3 and 4 year redshirt QBs.
Let Lambert get in there and let Eason take in the speed and gametime emotions and see what happens.
Lambert is not a bad QB. UGA lost Chubb last year and UGA doesnt have great WRs. Even Godwin underperformed last year as a deep threat. If Reggie Davis catches the perfectly thrown bomb from Lambert at TN last year id wager UGA fans would may feel different on Lambert.
Sometimes change for the sake the of change isnt the answer.

Disagree. If we can average 4.5 ypc, move the chains, sustain drives, and eat up clock it serves us better than scoring on big plays. Keep their offense off the field and put the pressure on them. They're comfortable when they're in a shootout. Get them out of their comfort zone. If they think they're only going to get 6 possessions and they have to play catch-up, then they'll start to press.

Yes and that was a terrible decision. Cole stoudt looked terrible and deshaun looked great in the snaps he played

Also this should be a game centered around Chubb and the running game with the occasional pass here and therr to keep the defense honest. The plan shouldnt be an airraid passing attack and if it does become that, then UGA has bigger problems than personnel.

Yep, and that was a mistake in hindsight.

Our offensive line seems to be in as good of shape as it has been in a long time.
The gameplan will be to run the ball, control the clock, and keep their offense off the field. I think we can do with with either Lambert or Eason.

He's not good enough to win games when the opponent successfully takes the running game away. At some point, Georgia will need a QB who can do that.

Those are my thoughts as well. Either Lambert or Eason skill wise should be able to handle the gameplan to run the ball. So it comes down to nerves and jitters to which the 5th year senior has to get the nod.

I'm not a clemson fan so I don't know all the leadup/backstory behidn the situation, but I DO know that watching watson thread that TD inches from our LBs head was terrifying and I was giddy when they took him out.
I don't necessarily think starting GL is THE WORST thing ever, but whenever EAson does come in (which he will) if he makes some plays I hope they keep rolling with him.

Explosive plays as in 10+ yard runs. That's not Douglas' game. It serves us to better to score a td on a big play than eat clock only punt the ball away or try to kick through goal posts.

UGA would have beaten TN from behind on the road without Chubb with a perfectly thrown deep ball from Lambert that was dropped by Reggie davis in the endzone.
Id say Lambert is capable but he had little help from the supporting cast last year. I think some of last years mishaps are unfairly attributed to the position. Need to look at those WRs.
