ATLANTA (AP) \u2014 The Florida Gators made a first-half quarterback change Saturday, swapping Aaron Philo for Tramell Jones Jr. in the second quarter against Georgia.<\/p>\n
The change came after Philo\u2019s second interception of the day, which set Georgia up for a 28-yard field goal and a 10-0 lead roughly nine minutes before halftime. Philo was 5 of 7 for 26 yards and two interceptions.<\/p>\n
Georgia defensive back Demello Jones notched his second pick of the season on a pass to Eric Singleton Jr. that went high. Philo\u2019s first interception was more puzzling, as the quarterback tossed the ball upward mid-fall while under pressure from Bulldogs inside linebacker Raylen Wilson.<\/p>\n
Philo started after missing the previous game and a quarter with a shoulder injury sustained in Florida\u2019s loss to South Carolina. Jones played in place of the junior transfer quarterback and led the Gators to a 27-24 upset<\/a> over then-No. 7 Texas with a 155-yard, two-touchdown performance.<\/p>\n Both quarterbacks were upgraded from questionable to probable<\/a> on Friday\u2019s injury report after splitting repetitions for much of the week. Coach Jon Sumrall said the decision would boil down to \u201c health and availability.<\/a> \u201d<\/p>\n Sumrall told ESPN reporter Marty Smith before the game that the chance of seeing both quarterbacks play was \u201creal.\u201d<\/p>\n ___<\/p>\n Sign up for Top 25 poll alerts here<\/a>.
