Florida makes quarterback change after nightmare start against Georgia

Florida’s start against Georgia on Saturday has been horrible. Florida quarterback Aaron Philo threw one of the worst interceptions you’ll ever see in the first half.

Things went from bad to worse for Florida after Philo’s benching as Georgia continued to put points on the board and is now up 24-0 at halftime.

Florida hasn’t won since 2020, and that’s likely to continue after today unless it can orchestrate a miraculous second-half comeback. A win for the Bulldogs would improve their record to 7-1, while a loss for the Gators would drop them to 5-3.
