Gators stun No. 7 Texas in QB Tramell Jones Jr.’s first start

Florida’s season turned around in dramatic fashion with a 27-24 upset over No. 7 Texas, a victory that restored momentum for coach Jon Sumrall after back-to-back losses.

The Gators’ first win on the road against a Top 10 team since 2012 hinged on a game-sealing turnover—linebacker Myles Graham forced a fumble by Texas QB Arch Manning, recovered by Kanye Clark at the 39-yard line with under two minutes left. Manning, who had thrown two fourth-quarter interceptions in Texas’s loss to Oklahoma a week earlier, nearly rallied the Longhorns with a late touchdown drive but couldn’t overcome the turnover or his team’s offensive struggles after halftime, where Texas managed just one first down in six drives and turned the ball over twice more in five attempts.
