Quarterback Decision
Tramell Jones Jr. will make his second career start for the No. 24 Gators when they host Oklahoma. The move comes after coach Jon Sumrall adjusted the depth chart to list Jones or Aaron Philo and indicated a plan was already set. Philo was removed after throwing two interceptions in the 27-8 defeat to Georgia. Jones entered and added two turnovers of his own.
Offensive Line Challenges
Sumrall noted the difficulty in evaluating the quarterbacks because the offensive line has allowed heavy pressure. The Gators sit at 5-3 overall and 3-3 in the SEC while the Sooners are 4-4 overall and 2-3 in their conference. The porous protection has made it hard to determine which passer gives the team the best chance in the matchup.
Jones and Philo Statistics
Jones has completed 70.8 percent of his passes for 579 yards with four touchdowns and three interceptions while rushing for 77 yards and one score. In his first start he completed 22 of 35 passes for 155 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions. Philo has completed 70.5 percent of his passes for 1,367 yards with nine touchdowns and five interceptions and has added 104 rushing yards with three scores.
