- Florida head coach Jon Sumrall is weighing his quarterback decision for Saturday's game against Georgia in Atlanta, with Aaron Philo and Tramell Jones both practicing Monday after injuries sidelined each recently.

- Emphasizing a "next man up" mentality, Sumrall stated "I think we can win with either guy," expressing confidence in both Philo and Jones as he monitors their practice performance this week.
