Aaron Philo Opens Up About Difficult Stretch After Leading Gators to Kentucky Win
After losing the starting job and watching the Florida Gators struggle over the previous two weeks, Aaron Philo got another opportunity to help his team get back on track.
He made the most of it.
Philo completed 16 of 24 passes for 119 yards while adding 102 yards on 15 carries. He scored the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter, helping the Gators earn a much-needed road victory, 21-14.
“It’s just been a tough couple of weeks. I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t,” Philo said after the win. “So I think it was just all those emotions coming out and laying it all on the line tonight and getting the win.”
