No. 7 Texas got absolutely stunned by unranked Florida, falling 27-24 at home. And yeah, social media is already going wild, dropping the ‘most overrated ever’ tag. Can you believe it? This loss puts Texas on a two-game slide, a streak they haven’t seen in about a half-decade.
Manning’s Late Fumble Seals The Deal
Talk about a gut punch. Arch Manning fumbled with only 1 minute, 58 seconds left in the game, killing any chance Texas had to take the lead in the fourth quarter. This fumble was massive, folks. It was the first time Manning has ever lost at home as a starter. Think about that pressure. Coming off the Red River Rivalry last weekend, Texas now has back-to-back losses, and the vibes in Austin have to be brutal right now.
Backup QB Tramell Jones Jr. Leads The Gators To Victory
Credit where credit is due, Florida’s backup quarterback, Tramell Jones Jr., got his first start because Aaron Philo was out with a shoulder injury. You’d think that’s a break for Texas, right? But Jones, despite throwing two interceptions and only getting 155 yards, led his squad to that insane 27-24 victory. It just adds insult to injury for Texas, losing at home to a team led by a backup on his first start. Ouch.
So, yeah, the internet isn’t holding back, piling on Texas after this one. ‘Most overrated ever’ is a heavy label, but after two straight losses, including this stunner to an unranked squad at home, it’s not hard to see why fans are fed up. Texas has some serious soul-searching to do after letting this one slip away.
