When it comes to determining a pecking order for his quarterbacks, Georgia coach Kirby Smart doesn’t sound any different at the end of August than he did at the beginning.
The Bulldogs held their 20th preseason workout Wednesday afternoon with fifth-year senior Greyson Lambert, redshirt junior Brice Ramsey and freshman Jacob Eason still competing for the starting role. Georgia opens the Smart era a week from Saturday against North Carolina in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Classic.
“It’s not really any clearer,” Smart said Wednesday evening in a news conference. “We’re going to eventually narrow it down to two, but we haven’t done that yet, and I don’t have a timeline for doing it. I’ll evaluate them day by day.
“All three guys are rotating in there. Hopefully it will rear itself out in the next couple of days, but nobody is jumping out right now.”
Lambert made 12 starts last season and won 10 of those, even setting an NCAA single-game accuracy mark by completing 24 of 25 passes (96.0 percent) in a 52-20 drubbing of South Carolina. Ramsey appeared in six games a year ago at quarterback but only two after throwing two interceptions in the 38-10 loss to Alabama.
