Saturday’s G-Day game was another exciting one for the Georgia Bulldogs, who played in front of an impressive crowd of 66,000 fans.

The Red team beat the Black team 25-22, with freshman QB Jake Fromm turning in a solid stat line of 277 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions in the scrimmage. Meanwhile, sophomore QB Jacob Eason struggled. Though he still threw for two touchdowns and 311 yards, he also took five sacks and threw an interception.

After the game, second-year head coach Kirby Smart spoke with the media about what his biggest takeaways were from the final scrimmage of the spring practice session. Here’s what Smart had to say following Saturday’s festive event:

‘’I’m really excited about our fan base. We had 66,000 people,” Smart said. “It makes me proud to be a Bulldog. I’m glad they came out.

“A lot of recruits made comments about the attendance, and I think any chance you get to have 66,000 people for a practice, that’s an exciting thing. The kids certainly appreciated it. I want to thank the fans for that. I thought we had a great atmosphere. ‘’When it comes to the game, the battle in between, it started out kinda slow.

“Obviously, we didn’t run the ball like you want to, but to be honest with you, it wasn’t part of the game plan. We wanted to see if we could throw the ball some, move the ball around. We would have like to run it better with the One offense, which we didn’t do, which we have to improve on. But there were some challenges. We limited the coordinators, we limited the offense with those opportunities. But the best thing that happened was that you got an opportunity to see quarterbacks try to work the 2-minute drill.

“So many of our games come down to critical situations, where it’s using time outs, opportunities to win the game. That excited me, and I thought the defense really played hard. Didn’t always tackle well and got some balls thrown over our heads, but they really competed and challenged each other more than maybe we had done earlier in the spring. So overall, I was pleased with the day, excited about the growth of our team. I really saw some players getting better throughout the entire spring.’’
