Terry Godwin can’t avoid the quarterback questions when he’s out and about on campus.

Like on Monday morning when the junior wide receiver was riding a University of Georgia bus and was asked whether Jake Fromm or Jacob Eason would start Saturday at Vanderbilt.

The guy who will make that call put it this way later in the day.

"It will be just like last week, it will be evaluated in practice," coach Kirby Smart said. "I do think Jacob is much closer to 100 percent. Obviously, last week he didn’t get cleared until somewhere around midweek."

Georgia is 5-0 this season with Fromm winning all four starts since Eason went down with a sprained ligament in his left knee in the season opener on Sept. 2.

The Bulldogs have won convincingly the last two weeks, 31-3 against Mississippi State and 41-0 against Tennessee, but Smart wouldn’t say that Fromm will definitely start Saturday.

"Again, we compete at every position every week," Smart said. "It’s not something we have to announce. We’re not starting to announce who the starting left corner or right corner is. We’re going to announce it based on how they practice."

Eason, a sophomore who started 13 games last season and won the job after a push from Fromm in the offseason, saw his first game action Saturday in Knoxville since being injured in the third series of the 31-10 win against Appalachian State.

He entered with 8:47 to go and Georgia ahead 38-0. He handed the ball to Elijah Holyfield seven times, threw an incomplete pass in the end zone intended for Jayson Stanley and took a knee in the victory formation.

"It was important to knock the rust off," Smart said. "He felt like he did in that game. He got to go out there. He’ll compete this week. Just like we do at every position."

Fromm was 7 of 15 for 84 yards with a touchdown and interception at Tennessee and also rushed for 20 yards and a pair of touchdowns on seven carries. Fromm missed seeing a wide open Sony Michel on one play.

The true freshman ranks fourth in the SEC in passing efficiency and has eight touchdowns and two interceptions but Georgia is last in the SEC in passing offense at 149.6 yards per game.

"They are different quarterbacks, but in some ways they do some of the things similar," Smart said. "It is comforting to know that you’ve got two experienced, where last year we really had one experienced and going into this year we had one experienced quarterback. Now we like to think we’ve got two that have played at least a complete season or four games in the case of Fromm."

Georgia players toed the line of the quarterback decision.

"I know whoever coach puts back there he’s going to make the right decision and put the team in the best position to win," Godwin said.

Said tight end Jackson Harris: "We’ll trust coach Smart in his decision and we’ll stay behind him."
