Florida Gators quarterback Tramell Jones Jr. led Florida to a 27-24 upset victory over the No. 7 Texas Longhorns in Austin. Jones, making his first career start due to a shoulder injury to starter Aaron Philo, threw for 155 yards and two touchdowns.
Florida overcame an early deficit, scoring 24 unanswered points to secure the win. Jadan Baugh contributed a crucial 11-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. The Gators' defense held Texas to under 300 total yards and recorded five sacks on Texas quarterback Arch Manning. A sack by Myles Graham forced a fumble on Texas' final possession, preventing a potential tying score.
The loss marks the second consecutive defeat for the Longhorns. Texas quarterback Arch Manning finished with 173 passing yards and one touchdown but struggled throughout the contest.
