Fromm got an early hook and gave coach Joe Judge little choice but to bench him in the third quarter with a debut that seemed to get worse with each drive. Fromm went 6 of 17 for 25 yards and one interception.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Florida-Georgia game has become an elimination game -- and not just in the Southeastern Conference's Eastern Division. The winner of the Florida-Georgia game has advanced to the league's showcase event nine times in the last 13 years. Greenard, the team's best defensive player, played one series against LSU and missed the team's last game against South Carolina.

Georgia's full-fledged reality check arrived when another slow start ended with a double-overtime loss at home to unranked South Carolina. "I believe in Jake Fromm,'' Smart said. For Georgia to dominate, it must be a run-first team managed by Fromm instead of a pass-happy offense. Coach Kirby Smart said Monday that Shaffer's status will be "week to week.''
Fromm moved the Bulldogs to the South Carolina 38, in possible position for Blankenship to attempt a game-winning field goal. South Carolina (3-3, 2-2) took its first win over a ranked opponent since beating No. Pressure from the South Carolina defense forced Fromm to attempt a pass off his back foot.

Finishing off a dominating run through their first three games, the Bulldogs romped to a 55-0 win over Arkansas State on Saturday.
