Florida beat Texas 27-24 on October 18, 2026, erasing a 17-3 deficit with 24 straight points and handing the Longhorns their second straight loss. Tramell Jones won his first start at quarterback for the Gators. Arch Manning fumbled with two minutes left, down by three, and Steve Sarkisian said afterward that everything is on the table. The discussion turns on whether Manning sees the field and whether his last name has inflated expectations.
