3 Spring Practice Questions: Georgia Bulldogs

1. Can the offense help Eason grow or continue to hold him back?

This is mainly for the benefit of Jacob Eason. Last year the Bulldogs’ offense was sub-par in every category, except for running backs.

Eason’s development rides on how well the rest of the offense performs.

His development was stunted due to him not having any sort of outside threat. Their leading returning receiver failed to reach the 400-yard mark, and the second leading receiver was their tight end.

The  offensive line also struggled for much of the season last year. Both in pass blocking, as well as run blocking.

I’m sure fans would like to ride the Chubb-Michel duo for as long as they can, but sooner or later the staff will have to know if Eason is their guy or not. And the only way to do that is by throwing more and letting him have the ball when it matters most.

Eason showed flashes last year of what he is capable of, but not enough to say he’s a sure thing for an outstanding season this year.
