Florida had just knocked off No. 7 Texas 27-24 on the road with a backup quarterback making his first career start. Jon Sumrall still wasn't ready to call the Gators a finished product. (As of 5:14 PM ET.)

On what the win means for the program, Sumrall said, "We have to figure out how to suck less each week. We're not a complete team yet," per [Zach Abolverdi of Gators Online](https://x.com/ZachAbolverdi/status/2111564506224545949?ref=gatorstandard.com), who posted the clip and the full press conference.

### Why he said it

Florida came to Austin off a 38-19 homecoming loss to South Carolina, and it started Saturday the same way. Texas led 10-0 after one quarter and 17-3 in the second after a 63-yard punt return touchdown. Then the Gators scored 24 straight points: two Tramell Jones Jr. touchdown passes to Lacota Dippre, a Patrick Durkin field goal and an 11-yard Jadan Baugh touchdown run. Myles Graham's strip-sack, recovered by Kanye Clark with 1:58 left, sealed it.

Sumrall also credited his defense and the whole roster in the press conference. "I'm not taking anything away from Tramell, but today was a team win, not a quarterback win," he said, per [Edgar Thompson of the Orlando Sentinel](https://x.com/osgators/status/2111544183341322647?ref=gatorstandard.com). We have more of his comments, including what he told ABC, in our [first Sumrall postgame story](https://www.gatorstandard.com/watch-sumrall-postgame-team-win-not-quarterback-win-texas/), and what he said about Jones on our [Jones page](https://www.gatorstandard.com/watch-tramell-jones-jr-postgame-texas-just-the-start/).

Florida (5-2, 3-2 SEC) has a bye next week before facing Georgia on Oct. 31 in Atlanta.
