Two former Georgia high school quarterbacks will start opposite each other in an SEC game this week. Who are they, and what are their high school and college teams? (Answer Monday)

Answer to Thursday's question: The most common nickname of GHSA football teams is Bulldogs. There are 29. That includes the Winder-Barrow Bulldoggs, who have a unique spelling. Of those 29, all but one is a public school. The exception is would be George Walton Academy. The only school that has opened in the past 25 years to adopt the Bulldogs nickname is Dutchtown (2004).
