The Georgia Bulldogs fell just short of the College Football Playoff after a devastating loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship Game. Though many believe Kirby Smart’s team was among the four best in the sport, the Bulldogs will square off against Texas in the Sugar Bowl and, in short, that probably isn’t an exciting outcome for a program with incredibly lofty aspirations.
With that said, the Georgia coaching staff would likely prefer not to deal with an intriguing subplot that is reportedly developing, as Dan Wolken of USA Todaybrings word that backup quarterback Justin Fields intends to transfer from the program.
Fields, who was a consensus five-star prospect as a dual-threat player from nearby Kennesaw, Georgia, was used sporadically during the 2018 season, compiling 328 passing yards and 266 rushing yards for the Bulldogs.
