[autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] returned to the podium to address the media following his team’s 27-10 loss to Texas A&M on Saturday and spent time sharing his thoughts ahead of Saturday’s game with Georgia.
One of the main points of emphasis in Monday’s presser was quarterbacks. Starter [autotag]Payton Thorne[/autotag] passes for less than 100 yards for the second-straight game and has failed to consistently complete 75% or more of his passes. Backup [autotag]Robby Ashford[/autotag] has gotten looks, but he has not won the battle over Thorne yet.
Third-stringer [autotag]Holden Geriner[/autotag] played several snaps in the Texas A&M game, could he potentially start Saturday against Georgia? Freeze shut down that possibility Monday but described the diagram for Geriner to get more looks.
“I think Holden, if he ends up at some point being the guy, he must have a lot of reps. I love the way he seemed poised. His throws were inaccurate. Two balls out of bounds. He threw one really good one. Really, he was about 1-for-5 in accuracy. We are talking about a guy that we haven’t given quality reps. I think he, with the quality reps, could be more accurate. He has the quickest release. He stands tall in the pocket, and I don’t remember him having an enormous amount of pressure around him at that time, so that remains to be seen. Something that we must look at during the off week. I have a lot of things; I have a whole list that I have formulated.”
Freeze hit on a number of topics including his thoughts on the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry, Kirby Smart’s success, and his view on playcalling.
