Despite starting in the national title game two months ago, Jake Fromm’s job as Georgia’s starting quarterback could be up for grabs when the Dogs begin spring practice March 20.

Sports Illustrated's Chris Johnson believes the upcoming battle between Fromm and true freshman Justin Fields will be one of the nation's top QB battles to watch in spring practice.

“Though it’s hard to imagine Fromm won’t be orchestrating the Bulldogs’ first offensive drive in their Sept. 1 opener against Austin Peay, Fields could make it difficult for head coach Kirby Smart to resist a change under center if Georgia’s offense hits a rocky patch during SEC play,” Johnson writes.
