When Georgia offense takes the field against Oklahoma in the Rose Bowl Game, presented by Northwestern Mutual, they will be facing the nation's No. 88 pass defense. That could provide an opportunity for Bulldogs' freshman quarterback Jake Fromm.

Fromm, the Coaches' SEC Freshman of the Year and AP SEC Co-Newcomer of the Year, has been remarkably efficient in his first college season, throwing for 2,173 yards, 21 touchdowns, and five interceptions, adding 107 rushing yards and three touchdowns. While Sooners' quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Baker Mayfield leads the country in passer rating and yards per attempt, Fromm is sixth and eighth in those categories.

While helping lead Georgia to its first berth in the College Football Playoff, Fromm has a chance to help his program take the next step in the Rose Bowl. Pro Football Focus points out that Fromm has thrived when throwing passes 20 yards or more downfield.
