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.

Yeah, this really needs to be the story. This was the kid’s first start… on the road… against a top 10* team. What a play he made to ice the game.

Would not be upset to see him start vs Georgia, definitely gonna be a fun two weeks of speculation

He is certainly more explosive in the run game and has a bit stronger arm, but you can also see some of the decision making a bit better with Philo early on. I think Jones is the better longterm solution
