Georgia fans were calling for Jacob Eason to play during Auburn game

In a totally unexpected turn of events, the Auburn Tigers were blowing out the No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday afternoon, running wild against the SEC East foe.
Georgia freshman QB Jake Fromm struggled mightily during the game, dealing with pressure from Auburn’s defense and inconsistency with his arm.
Fromm was 8-for-19 for 133 yards early in the fourth quarter, which caused many to wonder why backup Jacob Eason wasn’t getting a chance to play. Eason got hurt in Week 1 and Fromm took over, but the sophomore is healthy once again.
Here are some of the tweets from Georgia fans calling for the 2016 starter to get a chance to lead a comeback on Saturday evening:
Jacob Eason never lost to Auburn. Just a comment for you all to hate but not disagree with.

Wonder if there's any temptation by Kirby to trot out Jacob Eason in the 4th and go Bombs away.

Please put Jacob Eason in the football game. He was the #1 QB in the country for a reason.

Imagine Georgia's passing game if they would've kept Jacob Eason as starter…..this is what happens when you hype up a qb who has handed off the ball all season #UGAvsAUB
