Georgia routs Florida 27-8 as Gators bench QB Aaron Philo

No. 3 Georgia defeated No. 17 Florida 27-8 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Saturday, with the Gators managing only a late score to avoid their first shutout against the Bulldogs since 1982. Starting quarterback Aaron Philo was pulled after completing just 5 of 7 passes for 26 yards with two interceptions, replaced by Tramell Jones Jr. Head coach Jon Sumrall apologized to fans afterward, saying the team fell well short of its potential.
