Florida QB Aaron Philo might not play at No. 7 Texas because of a shoulder injury, AP source says
If Philo sits, sophomore Tramell Jones would make his first career start after Florida listed the quarterback as questionable with a shoulder injury.
Florida starting quarterback Aaron Philo is questionable for Saturday's game against the Texas Longhorns after suffering a shoulder injury, according to reports Wednesday. Philo has been limited in practice this week.
If Philo is unavailable, sophomore backup quarterback Tramell Jones Jr. would make his first career start. The Gators have dropped consecutive games to Missouri and South Carolina, prompting scrutiny of the offense.
Philo has completed 70.5% of his passes for 1,341 yards with nine touchdowns this season. He threw for 227 yards and a touchdown in last Saturday's 38-19 loss to South Carolina.
Star wide receiver Vernell Brown III practiced Wednesday and appeared to be "the best he's looked" since his knee injury. Brown has a "real shot" to play against Texas.
Kickoff inside Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium is set for 11 a.m. Saturday, with Texas favored by 8.5 points. Florida enters seeking to reignite an offense that dominated its first four games.
