Bianchi: The wrong QB is famous! Florida’s Tramell Jones Jr. outplays overhyped Texas golden boy Arch Manning

The Florida Gators delivered one of the most shocking upsets in college football history, defeating the No. 7 Texas Longhorns 27-24 in Austin despite entering the game as a shell-shocked team.

After back-to-back losses to Missouri and South Carolina, Florida’s defense—ranked last in the SEC—faced a daunting task against a top-10 opponent led by Heisman hopeful Arch Manning. Yet the Gators rallied behind backup quarterback Tramell Jones Jr., who outplayed Manning in a high-stakes matchup, forcing five sacks and capitalizing on a critical fumble in the final minutes.

The victory marked Florida’s first road win over a top-10 team since 2012, revitalizing their playoff hopes after a dismal stretch that saw their defense surrender 83 points in consecutive blowouts. With Jones Jr.

stepping in for an injured starter, the Gators’ resilience defied expectations, proving that even in chaos, college football delivers unforgettable moments.
