Social media reacts to 1st half of Georgia-Georgia Tech game, Jake Fromm's struggles
The Georgia Bulldogs are in control against Georgia Tech.
UGA leads the Yellow Jackets 17-7 at halftime. The Dawgs’ defense is playing well against the Yellow Jackets’ offense, and if not for a muffed punt by Dominick Blaylock, GT likely wouldn’t have any points.
However, hidden in that score, Jake Fromm and the passing game has struggled yet again, and it’s been a reoccurring theme in 2019. Fromm finished just 8-of-17 for 105 yards and one touchdown in the first half. Three receivers caught passes in Tyler Simmons, Charlie Woerner (tight end) and Demetris Robertson. Fromm overthrew a wide open Simmons for a touchdown in the second quarter.
Lawrence Cager is out with an injury, and George Pickens didn’t even play in the first half.
Yes, UGA will likely win this game; however, there are still big concerns with the passing game ahead of the SEC Championship showdown against LSU.
That’s what social media is discussing at halftime:
Jake Fromm: 100% the starting quarter back for UGA in 2020. I don’t remember a quarterback that has hurt his sky high draft stock more than Fromm in 2019. Are we sure this isn’t secretly Joe Cox?

Jake Fromm’s playing like Joe Cox

Jake Fromm at Georgia Tech
Two strongest parts of his game are the presnap recognition and his accuracy. First three plays of the game shows lapses in both. First, almost a pick six not accounting for the LB undercutting the flat. pic.twitter.com/yKauFtoedU

@UGA plays like this next weekend, it’s going to be ugly! From special teams to the inconsistency of Jake Fromm, @KirbySmartUGA better figure it out now!

#Dawgs Jake Fromm doesn't look like a very confident quarterback. This far into the season, you'd think he's had enough reps with the receivers to have throws timed right but it just isn't happening. Is it coaching? Not enough practice? I don't get it.

I have never seen a QB regress like Jake Fromm has. What happened to this kid? He’s never been elite but he’s always been smart and accurate. He’s is neither of those things now. Kirby needs to bench him for the rest of the game. Send a message this performance is not acceptable

I told myself I was going to stick by Jake Fromm, but homie is playing like he’s never played football in his life. Come on Jake.

Georgia Wide Receivers looking for Jake Fromm balls all over the field… https://t.co/XfoQDJqqYw

I don’t understand what has happened to Fromm. I know the receivers aren’t helping much but it’s not like they are dropping balls and he’s missing wide open guys. Pretty strange. He’ll definitely be back next year.
Maybe injuries on the oline, teams not having to stack the box as much against them. Stack that with predictable play calling and hes getting a ton of 8 man zones.
You might be right but I don’t feel like the offense is particularly different than last year. They were just as predictable but the execution was better especially by Fromm
3 straight.
Mine’s 7 and a little curved
3 straight.
3 straight.
Justin Fields sure isn’t struggling with his passing game. Just saying…
An accurate QB that can scramble wouldn’t do well in this offense….
3 straight.
3 straight.
Shut up loser. Has nothing to do with Fromm’s indescribable fall to mediocre play. Maybe he is injured like MattyJ said.
I’m starting to think Jake must have a shoulder injury or something. His accuracy has just fallen straight off a cliff. No real explanation for it.
I also don’t get calling him Joe Cox. Joe could sling it. He’s Hutson Mason right now. Sorry Hutson.
Glad we got Jim Chaney back
