Philo is classified as a game time decision for the upcoming road game on Saturday. Jones entered the game in relief during the loss to South Carolina, completing six of eight pass attempts for 40 yards and throwing one interception. According to CBS College Football, Jones was a three star recruit and was ranked as the number 25 quarterback. [1][2]
