Doogs gonna doog. A starting QB for a 10-3 team that had a 6:1 TD to INT ratio beat out a true freshman.
10-3 with a non-con of Southern, Georgia Southern(23-17 in OT), Lousiana-Monroe, Georgia Tech(13-7), and Pedo State in the Taxslayer.com bowl(24-17.)
The 5 SEC teams they beat had a combined total of EIGHT conference wins (8-32).
There is a reason Richt was fired and it's the same reason everyone assumed Lambert would be benched- they were shit against a shit schedule especially on offense.
Georgia averaged 5.7 ypp. UW averaged 5.6. S&P had Georgia at 70th in the nation in total offense. UW 37th.
The job was handed to Eason on a silver platter. He vomited all over it.
The SEC plays a lot better defense than the Pac 12.
When Browning came in, if UW had a returning starter off a 10 win team, he wouldn't have gotten on the field.
I don't know, maybe Eason sucks. You guys are still huge doogs for gloating over a true freshman QB not starting like it's really telling you something.
When/if Lambert fucks up, Eason is coming in.
Not in the SEC East. Jawjuh didn't play LSU, Ole Miss, Arky or Miss St last year. And BAMA barely needed to show up to their match.
Obviously the Eason saga is only just beginning. He will get plenty of chances and hopefully transfer at least twice.
But it is significant that he didn't get the starting nod you can't spin it any other way.
Likely because he makes too many major mistakes on the field and the game manager that knows how to hand it off and throw it in the first row gives a better chance of them winning the games they are supposed to win ...
As has been discussed from time to time, the true battle that he has to win is next year with a new super frosh (locally) coming in ... lose that battle and the transfer is very likely.

But we are also talking about a pretty small sample size at this point so let's let it play out.
Eason's 1st game line against good competition.
8/12 131 yards 10.9 per throw 1TD 0 INT 90 QBR
Georgia 2-8 on 3rd downs. Sounds like they could use the game manager.
