JACKSONVILLE – One of the major story lines going into Saturday’s Florida-Georgia game will be the play of the two “rookie” quarterbacks: Georgia’s Jacob Eason and Florida’s Luke Del Rio.
So our first Burning Question for Saturday has to be this: Which of these two young quarterbacks is doing to have the better day in the annual “Cocktail Party” along the St. Johns River?
If history is any guide, it is going to be a difficult day for Eason. A little digging reveals that the last Georgia quarterback to win in his first start against Florida in Jacksonville was Greg Talley in 1989, when the Bulldogs beat Florida 17-10 in Ray Goff’s first season as coach.
