Passes
Pass #1
3rd and 4 after the interception to start the game. Fromm appears to have zeroed in on Nauta before the ball was snapped and missed an open Michel down the left sideline. Nauta falls down and the pass is almost picked. While not the best decision, if Nauta stays on his feet, it's likely a completion for a first down if not a TD as Nauta was splitting the zone coverage.
Pass #2
After a missed block that led to a sack and a loss of 7 yards, Fromm hits an open Wimms 4 yards off the LOS to get back to the pre-sack position.
Pass #3
The next play is 3rd and 10. Fromm puts some touch on the ball and hits Hardman with an over-the-shoulder pass that would have been a 26-yard pickup, down to the UT 28 yard line. Instead, Hardman drops the pass and it's 4th down.
Pass #4
Following possession, 2nd and 10. Fromm tries to hit Wimms on a slant and it was just a bad throw that was way behind (looked like bad timing on the route or the throw or both). Nearly picked (twice) but he caught a break there.
Pass #5
Next play, 3rd and 10. Fromm hits Godwin on an out route down the left sideline 1 yard past the 1st down marker and Godwin does his thing to pick up some more yards before getting stripped and the ball (luckily) going out of bounds.
Pass #6
The next play, Fromm makes a quick throw to Wimms down the right side 5 yards from the LOS. Wimms sheds the tackle and picks up the first down.
Pass #7
Same drive. We just missed on the fake run/pass play and it's 2nd and 10. Fromm checks down to Swift who picks up 5 yards after a good move to make a defender miss.
Pass #8
Next play. After burning another timeout, Fromm throws a beauty to Wimms who makes a leaping catch in the endzone to go up 10-0.
Pass #9
Ensuing drive, 3rd and 5. Fromm targets Wimms again on a come-back throw that hits him in the hands. Would have been a 1st down but defender knocks the ball loose after the catch and it's 4th down. Looked like interference on the replay.
Pass #10
Next play to open up the 2nd quarter. Fromm tries to hit Ridley on a slant but the throw is too far ahead and results in a pick. It's possible that Ridley ran a bad route and Fromm thought he would be cutting faster than he did, or perhaps Fromm saw that defender standing where Fromm was going to throw it and went off-mark on purpose. Either way, it was a breakdown somewhere than resulted in an INT.
Pass #11
2nd and 7 with 8:21 left in the first half. Fromm just ran for a first down and the offense is driving. Fromm tries to hit Michel in the flat but he's covered. Looked more like a throw-away but it lands incomplete regardless.
Pass #12
Same drive. 2nd and goal. Fromm scans the field briefly before checking down to Chubb. A low throw causes an incompletion which was actually a good thing since he would have lost yards had he caught it. Wimms looks like he was open in the middle of the field but Fromm got rid of it pretty quickly so he probably just missed him.
Pass #13
First possession of the 3rd quarter. 3rd and 2 on the TN 32 yard line. Fromm hits Nauta in the hands on a quick out route for a 3 yard gain and a 1st down.
Pass #14
2 plays later. Fromm misses on a slant to an open Godwin. Godwin has a slight stutter that looks like it resulted in the timing being off. Ball hits him out front in the right hand but Godwin can't come down with it. Possible that if Godwin goes full-stride it's a perfect throw for a first down. The miss could be on Fromm or Godwin.
Pass #15
Last pass of the game for Fromm. 4:08 left in the 3rd quarter. Fromm rolls out to the right and finds an open Godwin sitting on the 1st down line for a 19 yard gain.
Runs:
1st Down Run
3rd and 7 with 9:19 left in the first half. Fromm gets flushed from the pocket and runs ahead 12 yards for a 1st down.
TD Run #1
Same drive and it's 3rd and goal from the 9. Fromm scans the left side of the field and doesn't see anyone open then feels pressure coming from behind and takes off for a TD scramble. 17 yards on the ground from where he was in the pocket.
TD Run #2
Next possession. 2nd and goal from the 4. Fromm with the zone read and pulls it down for an easy TD.
Mishandled snap
3:41 left in the 3rd quarter. Fromm has some trouble taking the snap and the ball flies up into the air. Fromm acts fast and pulls it down and runs for a 3 yard gain.
Zone read for 1st down
2 plays later, Fromm reads the linebacker and takes off for a 5 yard gain and a 1st down, keeping the drive alive that eventually results in a TD.

Always love reading these. Nicely done!

I am surprised that Eason was put in the game in the 4th TBH
I am having a hard time seeing him winning the job back from Fromm the way things are going now
I ALMOST thought we were going to see us run through the season & get to Atlanta without him and then see him start in the SECCG (ie - evil genius Kirby throwing his mentor a curve ball by starting a QB that they had not seen or prepared for
oh well, I am just enjoying the ride...

We're winning ball games, but I wouldn't say we've been prolific in the pass game. We will eventually play someone who makes that necessary. I don't think the sample size on Eason this year is big enough to say that he can't do better than Fromm. Maybe we can find a comfortable lead somewhere and work him in to help answer that question.

I would note too that the critique of Fromm not throwing more or gaining more yards might be because TN had the worst running defense (or damn near to it) in the SEC coming into Sat. My guess is the game plan was always to run early....run often.

I love what Fromm is doing and am perfectly fine with him being our starter going forward if that's what coaches believe is best. But, I (like many others) aren't convinced he's the best option when our run game is stifled against Auburn on the road or against Florida in Jacksonville. HE MIGHT BE. I am not saying that, but he hasn't exactly set the world on fire through the air in tough road environments and has benefitted greatly from our run game and defense against inferior opponents, Again, I am not an Eason fan boy, but I would like to see what he has to offer if the coaches truly think he gives us something that Fromm doesn't.
Edit: I'm not convinced Eason is the best option either which is why I want to see him get some action.

I agree.....why pass it when you can run it. Fromm was an effective game manager Sat.

This is my perspective. Fromm didn't need to throw more because the game plan played out to near perfection; hard to argue with 41 to nothing.
Also, regarding Pass #14, on a short pass you simply throw it right to the receiver; there was no reason for Fromm to lead Godwin that much on that short slant pass so I see that missed connection on Fromm. I don't believe in that "throw to the spot" crap especially on a short pass when the ball is only in the air about a second or two.

You are correct. A slant should be thrown quick and hard just outside the receiver's number. No more than a 12 inch lead.

Fromm has got to get a whole lot better in the passing game if we want to win anything of significance. You can't argue with 41-0, but sooner or later you're going to have to throw the ball with some consistency to win. We don't seem able to do that. Still, I don't think you can remove Fromm. We're 5-0 with two big wins on the road.

JFSF really caught UT napping with his mobility.
This guy is going to be a great QB for us.

He has done it in 3 home games, but we need to get better on the road

Pass #4. I think Fromm thought Wims would stop and cut back rather than continue across the middle.
Pass #10. Ridley ran a poor route. He ran a curve instead of breaking it off. In my opinion that INT was not Fromms fault.
Fromm is doing a terrific job so far, better than anyone should expect from a true freshman.
But, there will be a couple of defenses that will make us have to pass more and that is where the true test will come.
Auburn and Florida defenses will be tough against the run. But Florida pass defense is awful.
We will need our QB to beat these 2 teams.

quote:9 of Fromm's 15 throws were in the first quarter. He only threw the ball 3 times in the second half. Once we wore down their defensive front, we ran the ball down their throats with passing plays sprinkled in here and there. I think the game plan was to have a balanced offense until they got worn down, and then run them into the ground.

TN had the worst running defense
If you take out the Tech game (because facing Option teams ruin stat comparisons), they were giving up an average of 144 rushing yards per game... at about 3.9 ypc. That's about middle of the SEC in YPG and slightly better than middle in YPC it would look like (took quick glance).
I don't disagree that the mentality was likely always going to be run a ton, but our coaches (I would hope) are smart enough not to use the Tech game as basis for why we should run more than pass. Likely, the bigger factor was road game, and turnovers could have kept it close... take the game out of Fromm's hands unless you need him to make a play and even then, it was relatively a conservative approach to his passing down work.

Have you listened to the Monday episode of the Glory UGA podcast yet, fib? They have a pro-con discussion for both QB’s and the discussion on this board is playing out pretty much exactly as they discussed regarding how the mistakes of each QB are viewed by the fanbase.

60% is not good enough?
Posted on 10/2/17 at 1:50 pm to fibonaccisquared
I gotcha...but also consider we were sitting on a 24 point lead at half so throwing it all over the field wouldn't be very smart....and his stats were for what? 3 Quarters?
I don't know if it was as much "take it from Fromm's hands" in a road game as it was "we're up by 3 scores...run...run...run....Fromm take a seat you're finished"
