Jon Sumrall and Florida have had a roller-coaster season in Gainesville, as the Gators sit at 5-4 after a home loss to Oklahoma in Week 10.

One of the biggest issues plaguing the team has been inconsistency at the quarterback position. Both Aaron Philo and Tramell Jones Jr. have had good moments at times, but then have also really struggled at other times. This hot-and-cold routine made the Gators pay against strong defenses such as Georgia and Oklahoma.

As the Gators prepare for a tough road game at Kentucky in Week 11, Sumrall met with reporters to preview the contest. The Gators head coach refused to tip his hand and did not name a starting quarterback for Saturday’s game.

Jones got the start against the Sooners, and things didn’t go well at all. He finished 10-of-22 for 133 yards and 2 interceptions. Oklahoma loaded up the box to stop Jadan Baugh, and forced Jones to win the game. Obviously, it didn’t go well for the Gators.

Regardless of who starts at quarterback for the Gators, they will have a huge challenge in Week 11 at Kentucky. The 34-6 final score from the Wildcats loss to Tennessee looks bad, but it was a one-score game until the Vols pulled away in the 4th quarter. Not to mention, Kentucky has its back against the wall, still fighting for a spot in the CFP at 7-2 on the year.
