I don’t think the narrative should be “2nd half implosion by Texas”

It really should be “what a 2nd half comeback by Florida!”

That was an unreal road win for a team with a first year head coach - and came in on a two-game losing streak.

Playing their backup QB (a 19 year old in his first start)

To be fair he balled the fuck out. I don't see Philo starting in 2 weeks.

Had some awful passes but made plays when it mattered

Early game was very rough. He was definitely off on at least 4-5 throws.

Feel like he kind of settled down and grew into the game as it went along. His feet really made a difference. Especially that last run for the first down. I'm not sure Philo can do that.
