This past Saturday we learned a couple things about the Georgia BullDawgs. One, the team has shown great resilience in all three games up to this point. Two, it now seems they have a starting QB in Jacob Eason. We all knew it was a matter of time for Eason to take over but after Saturday’s “March in Mizzou” there is no question. It never was a question of talent. I don’t even think it was a question of experience. I believe Saturday he earned his teammates trust and respect. As of us who have played sports, we’ve been through similar things. Your on a new team and you know you can pull your weight, however your new teammate doesn’t know that. Until you prove yourself, your worth might not be justified. Eason proved himself Saturday night. Yes, he still under threw his receivers a few times but his “experienced” receivers also dropped a couple passes that should’ve never been dropped. He held his head high and delivered a strike when everyone was counting on him the most. He taught his coaches, teammates, Dawg Nation, & the rest of America what he can do when the game is on the line. It takes special people to be able to come through in the clutch like he did and those people are remembered. I’m not saying that he’s not going to struggle this year, of course he will. He still has a lot of learning to do but he did grow up a lot in Mizzou. I’m glad that Kirby decided to put the game in his hands unlike the last two weeks. Great job Mr. Eason, I’m looking forward to a very bright future from you and the rest of the Dawgs. There’s a big test ahead with a very angry Ole’ Miss team and the Dawgs will have to be better than they were in Mizzou. Stay humble and just do what you do. Nobody needs a hero, JUST DO YOUR JOB.
