ATHENS, Ga. – A solid debut from true freshman quarterback Jake Fromm, steady performances by running backs Nick Chubb and Sony Michel and a stingy defense led nationally15th-ranked Georgia to a 31-10 win over Appalachian State Saturday night.
The game was played before a near-capacity crowd of 92,746 at Sanford Stadium. It was the season-opener for both teams.
Fromm finished with an efficient 10-of-15 passing for 143 yards and one touchdown. Seniors Chubb and Michel combined for 183 yards and three touchdowns. The Bulldogs were equally impressive defensively, holding the Mountaineers to only 94 yards in the second half and 284 for the game.
