Georgia quarterback Jake Fromm will turn 20 on Monday, and then he and his Bulldogs teammates will begin preseason practices later in the week.

One of the primary concerns on the minds of UGA fans is the condition of Fromm's broken left hand.

The Bulldogs' fan day is set for Saturday at Sanford Stadium, and the season opener is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Sept. 1 in the same venue.
