Florida Gators preparing Emory Jones for spring competition

It’s been nearly three weeks since the Florida Gators made a statement in a 41-14 win over the Florida State Seminoles in Tallahassee. But some things that happened, or rather didn’t happen, in that game are still relevant with the Peach Bowl matchup against Michigan approaching.

After Emory Jones took over in the second half against Idaho the week before, a big concern leading up to the FSU game was whether Dan Mullen would let the freshman quarterback take some snaps against a big-time rival or hold out until the bowl game.

With Jones already playing in three games before that point, he could only remain eligible for a redshirt by sitting out one or the other.
