Coach Sumrall opted to start Aaron Philo under center, despite his back-up, Tramell Jones Jr., helping fuel Florida’s upset over Texas two weeks prior. Philo was benched for Jones in the first half against Georgia after throwing two interceptions.
Even with the quarterback change, the offense didn’t do much better, as Jones threw an interception of his own and finished with 172 yards passing with a garbage-time rushing touchdown late in the fourth quarter.
