Georgia freshman quarterback Jake Fromm will make his first start for the Bulldogs when they travel to play Notre Dame on Saturday.
Here are a few quick notes about the game:
Game time: 7:30 p.m.
Where: Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, Ind.
TV/Radio: NBC; News 95.5 & AM-750 WSB
Last meeting: Georgia won 17-10 in 1981
After starting quarterback Jacob Eason suffered a knee injury against Appalachian State on Saturday, Fromm took his first snaps on the collegiate level when entered the game in the first quarter.
In the Bulldogs’ 31-10 win, Fromm threw 10-for-15 for 143 yards and one touchdown against Appalachian State.
Georgia coach Kirby Smart told media this week Fromm will start on Saturday against No. 24 Notre Dame while Eason recovers from a sprained left knee.
Fromm’s first start will be challenging not solely because it's his first, but because he'll be playing a Top 25-ranked team on the road.
