Tramell Jones Jr. leads Florida to upset of No. 7 Texas in first start

Quarterback Tramell Jones Jr. threw two touchdown passes in his first start for the Gators as Florida came from behind to defeat seventh-ranked Texas on October 17. The victory ended a losing skid for the program and marked the team’s first road win over a top-10 opponent in 14 years. Jones had lost the offseason quarterback competition but stepped up decisively when given the opportunity.
