ATHENS, Ga. -- The home debut of Kirby Smart as No. 9 Georgias coach gained new significance when freshman Jacob Eason was announced as the starting quarterback in Saturdays game against Nicholls.Easons eventual rise to the starting job was widely expected following a preseason competition with 2015 starter Greyson Lambert and Brice Ramsey. Eason, from Lake Stevens, Washington, was regarded by some services as the nations top high school quarterback in this years recruiting class.Eason played behind Lambert in last weeks 33-24 win over North Carolina. Eason completed 8 of 12 passes for 131 yards and one touchdown. Lambert completed 5 of 8 passes for 54 yards.Georgia confirmed early Friday that Eason will start.

It will be the opener for Nicholls, a FCS team.Smart hasnt commented on his quarterback decision. He said Monday it is easier for a freshman quarterback to start, thanks to the growth of the passing game in high school.They see so much more, they throw so much more, theyve seen a lot of the defenses before, Smart said.

He displayed his arm strength on a 51-yard completion to Isaiah McKenzie. He also threw a 17-yard scoring pass to McKenzie.Easons rise to the starting job may come as a relief to his teammates after weekly questions about the quarterback competition.It doesnt matter whos in there, Jacob or Greyson or anybody, fullback Christian Payne said Monday.

Its great exposure for our program and a lot of our guys want to see if they can compete at the highest level.NO LETDOWN: Smart insists the Bulldogs can improve everywhere. He then added for emphasis Im serious. Anywhere. The win over then-No. 22 North Carolina triggered a big celebration in Atlantas Georgia Dome for Smart, his players and Georgia fans. On Monday the coach insisted that looking back only brought him anguish. You watch the tape and youre sick to your stomach because there are so many things we did wrong that we need to improve on, Smart said.HELP FOR CHUBB: Tailback Nick Chubb was a workhorse as he had 33 carries for 222 yards and two touchdowns last week in his return from his 2015 season-ending knee injury.

Tailback Elijah Holyfield, held out with an ankle injury last week, could make his debut. Another freshman tailback, Brian Herrien ran for 59 yards with a touchdown on seven carries last week and could play a bigger role.RUNNING QB: Nicholls senior Tuskani Figaro is a dual threat at quarterback.
