Overview
- Florida lost 27-8 to Georgia on Saturday, dropping the Gators to 5-3 overall and 3-3 in SEC play.
- Sumrall said he started Aaron Philo because Tramell Jones Jr. was managing a leg issue and Philo had looked better in practice earlier in the week.
- Sumrall replaced Philo in the second quarter seeking a spark after two interceptions, and Jones finished with 17 of 24 passing for 172 yards, one interception, and a rushing touchdown.
- Vernell Brown III missed a fourth straight game with a knee tweak that caused swelling and Florida’s scoring average fell from 53.5 points in the first four games with him to 17.8 points since he was sidelined.
- Sumrall apologized to fans, took responsibility for coaching and execution errors and drew a personal‑foul penalty after running onto the field, and the staff will evaluate both quarterbacks in practice ahead of the Oklahoma game.
