Brian Maurer starting against UGA

I mean Georgia can’t win when the backup comes in at halftime......

So they stand no chance when the backup plays the whole game. Ha

My dream scenario is Fromm throws an interception and then gets a targeting penalty tackling the guy that intercepted the ball.

That’d be great given he wasn’t injured. I never want a kid to get a serious injury. We’d need more help than that unfortunately

Do you think they're starting the guy who gives the best chance of winning... now?

In Pruitt's eyes yes. They are looking for a spark. Let's hope he can provide it. If not then JG goes back in and Bailey comes next year. Nothing to lose by giving BM a chance.

I agree. I fully expected Maurer to start the MSU game.

I thought they might go one more game with JG to avoid having Maurer get his first full game against a juggernaut. No one we start is going to make a difference in tomorrow's game.

I like the move for the very reason you state. Let him get some experience against a really good team instead of throwing him in against Mississippi State for the first time. Perhaps the experience he gains tomorrow will help him handle adversity as well as improve in the next start. Perhaps the team can rally behind him and play with more focus and intensity going forward. I don’t care if he throws 3 picks tomorrow as long as he shows some fight and sparks the team.

I can certainly understand that point of view.

Personally I think the team plays better with anyone but JG

That’s not a knock it’s just what I’ve noticed.

They should NEVER go back to JG. He's not a good place holder. He's not a the leader the team needs. I think Jennings at QB running a pure spread option offense would be a TERRIBLE idea... but better than going back to JG.

There are lots of potential underlying reasons to include JG simply having broken confidence and unable to recover. Regardless, it is HIGHLY unlikely he can turn it around while at UT. The best thing that could happen to him would be to go somewhere and get a new start.

You just gotta move on.

I honestly didn't think Pruitt would have the guts to do it. I figured JG would be starting every game this season, no matter how bad his performances. Maurer should be able to perform as well as can be reasonably expected against Georgia. I don't think anyone is expecting a true freshman to win the game for us, so he shouldn't feel tons of pressure.

If he does that’s fine!

He is a TRUE FRESHMAN, going against a top 3 defense!

But you know what? The rest of the schedule, those teams will really look slow for this kid after taking on Georgia.
