Fromm’s Georgia Bulldogs had just finished off rival Georgia Tech 45-21 at Sanford Stadium on Saturday when the talk quickly turned to Alabama and this week’s Southeastern Conference championship game. Fromm and his teammates had been forewarned to keep talk of the Crimson Tide to a minimum.
“I’m not supposed to talk about Alabama,” the sophomore quarterback said with a wry grin. “We just want to focus on today and enjoy this win.”
There were, however, a few who ventured into the subject. When asked if he thought the Bulldogs could beat the Tide, senior defensive end Jonathan Ledbetter had a short but decisive answer.
“Most definitely,” he said. “I don’t know why that’s even a question. We proved last year we could play with them.”
