With a true freshman quarterback lined up under center for the second-straight season, Georgia has started the 2017 season 7-0 heading into Saturday's annual rivalry game against Florida. Jake Fromm has performed admirably after taking over in the season opener when last year's starter, Jacob Eason, suffered a knee injury in the first half against Appalachian State.

Gators' junior defensive back Chauncey Gardner, however, has not been impressed.

“I mean, you say they have a great quarterback – I get it. He’s throwing simple passes – I get it. Anybody can throw a slant – I get it," Gardner said. "If you call him the best quarterback, so be it, but he has to play Saturday. We’re going to see what his best attribute is. If he can beat us with his arm, whoopty do. But we’re not focused on what he can do, what he can’t do. We’re just going to go out and focus on us and just play football, like I said, the past three or four weeks.”

Fromm leads the SEC in passer rating (170.4) and yards per attempt (9.6 yards per attempt) and is seventh in the country in both categories. He has completed 75-of-121 passes (62%) for 1,162 yards, 12 touchdowns, three interceptions, along with 74 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns. Gardner is second on the team with 37 tackles, but, according to CFB Film Room, also has 14 missed tackles and a conference-worst 70.8% tackle rate.

Georgia will face Florida Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET in Jacksonville on CBS.
