🔮 Philo is expected to be listed as questionable on the weekly Southeastern Conference injury report released later Wednesday, the person said.
🔮 GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — South Carolina defensive end Dylan Stewart, a projected first-round pick in the 2027 NFL draft, returned from a one-game suspension and forced two fumbles in a 38-19 victory at No. 16 Florida on Saturday.
🔮 The Gators (4-2, 2-2), who were double-digit favorites at home, lost a second consecutive game in lopsided fashion and surely will fall out of the AP Top 25.
🔮 Yet much of the talk was about the struggles of Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson and Patriots quarterback Drake Maye and the Bengals playing most of the game without All-Pro receiver Ja’Marr Chase.
🔮 Bhayshul Tuten scored on the next play, which surely will cause angst in the fantasy football world.
🔮 A road victory last week at Auburn was huge, but beating a top five team might be the turning point.
🔮 Trainers could be seen working on his thigh.
🔮 None of it should have been that surprising given the Gators lost arguably the best backcourt in school history, the trio of Walter Clayton Jr., Alijah Martin and Will Richard.
🔮 If the line holds, it would be the fifth time since 1978 that a top-five team was a road underdog against a team ranked outside the top 20, according to ESPN.
🔮 Bailey could have taken a knee, scrambled out of the end zone or even tossed the ball high into the air as the clock expired.
