UGA Twitter reacts to Justin Fields’ visit to Athens

Here is what Twitter had to say when Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields showed up to UGA’s preseason scrimmage Saturday.

Ohio State quaterback Justin Fields’ made the news Saturday, when the former Georgia signal caller visited the Bulldogs in Athens for their first preseason scrimmage.

According to Dawgnation, the Kennesaw, Georgia native was in the stands, not on the sideline.

Here are some Georgia football Twitter reactions to Fields visit:

It should be noted that the now Ohio State star was watching from the stands and not on the sidelines, according to Dawgnation.

Fields was looking like a sure-thing to win the Heisman Trophy this year prior to the Big Ten announcing there will be no fall sports. Now that there will be no Buckeyes football, could we possibly see Fields transfer back to UGA? Call me crazy, but remember the year we are living in. Fields transferring back to Georgia would be about the most normal thing to happen in 2020.

We wrote about that a few weeks ago:

With Big Ten postponing its season, could Justin Fields consider a return to UGA?

Fields is a Kennesaw, Georgia, native and was likely entering the final year of his college career before heading to the NFL draft. If the SEC keeps its season alive, Georgia would most likely be the No.1 landing spot for Fields, should he transfer.

Fields had an incredible sophomore season at Ohio State, throwing for 3,273 yards, 41 touchdowns and just 3 interceptions. He was a Heisman Trophy finalist and made it to the College Football Playoff, losing by six to the Clemson Tigers in the semifinals.

Georgia already has two transfer quarterbacks, Jamie Newman and J.T. Daniels, but the addition of a Heisman finalist definitely wouldn’t hurt.  There are no reports of Fields actually making the switch back to Georgia, just speculations.

The Big Ten announced its decision to postpone all fall sports according to their official website. The Big Ten is the first Power Five conference to make this decision.

The Big Ten Conference announced the postponement of the 2020-21 fall sports season, including all regular-season contests and Big Ten Championships and Tournaments, due to ongoing health and safety concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Just minutes after, the PAC-12 also made the decision to postpone its 2020 season.

Former Georgia quarterback Justin Fields, who transferred to Ohio State after his freshman season at UGA, has been a big advocate of letting the players play this season.

The Big Ten’s star quarterback will now have to wait until at least the spring to play football this year at Ohio State.

Fields expressed his distaste in the conference’s decision on Tuesday afternoon via Twitter.

With the SEC still set to have their season (for now), experts have already been speculating the potential of seeing Fields transfer back to UGA.  This is a long shot, but Georgia beat writer for Athens Banner-Herald Marc Weiszer reminded everyone that then OC James Coley and head coach Kirby Smart told Fields he would always have a sport at Georgia.
