Aaron Philo talks after Florida football's 2026 Orange and Blue Game
After Aaron Philo's first performance in the Swamp in front of the Gator Nation, he spoke to the media about his experience.
The first Orange and Blue Game of the Jon Sumrall era was a successful one, as the Gator Nation got its first glimpse at Florida football in action at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on Saturday. Among those who got some much-needed playing time was rising redshirt sophomore quarterback Aaron Philo, a transfer from the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets this offseason. He was 21-for-28 passing for 193 yards, along with a pair of touchdowns and interceptions, helping the offense enter halftime with a 32-25 lead after starting down 8-0.
Following the game, Philo spoke to the media about his experience as well as other topics relevant to the afternoon's action. Take a look below at what he had to offer. Buster was talking about how you bounced back from the interceptions; how do you feel you were able to perform overall?
"Yeah, I mean, things are going to go bad in games. Everything's not going to go the way that you want it to go. So you have to be resilient.
You have to be able to bounce back when things goes bad, and I think that's a great trait of a quarterback. " Would you consider yourself a risk-taker? Is that the kind of game you like to play?
