No. 25 Florida to Start QB Tramell Jones Against Oklahoma in the Swamp
CBS Sports reports the Gators will turn to Tramell Jones Jr. after Aaron Philo threw 2 interceptions against Georgia.
- Sophomore Tramell Jones Jr. is expected to make his second career start for the 24th-ranked Florida Gators against Oklahoma on Saturday night at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, sources confirmed to The Associated Press.
- Head coach Jon Sumrall benched Aaron Philo last Saturday after the quarterback threw two interceptions during a 27-8 loss to Georgia, prompting the switch to Jones.
- Jones previously led the Gators to an upset victory at Texas last month while filling in for an injured Philo; this season, he has completed 70.8% of his passes for 579 yards, four touchdowns, and three interceptions.
- Coach Sumrall emphasized the need for improvement, stating, "We have to be better around the quarterback," citing offensive line struggles as a critical factor in the decision.
- Now sitting 24th in the nation with a 5-3 record, the Gators remain in playoff contention; a victory over Oklahoma would secure bowl eligibility after the team finished 4-8 last season.
