There's a strong case to be made for either Aaron Philo or Tramell Jones Jr. to start for the Florida Gators in Week 9 vs. Georgia.

This is a neutral-site matchup in Atlanta, though that right there signifies that it'll likely be a strong collection of Bulldogs faithful at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Right now, all of the talk surrounding this game comes down to who Jon Sumrall is going to choose as his starting quarterback.

It comes as no surprise that the Bulldogs, led by Kirby Smart, have one of the best defenses in the entire nation.

Philo has struggled at times, but Jones only has a one-start sample size to go off of.

Heading into this crucial SEC showdown, ESPN Insight took a deep dive into some of the numbers for these QBs.

When Philo has faced pressure, he's completed 54% of his passes compared to the 31% of Jones Jr.

Remember, Philo was the starter for the first six games of the year, but a few of those turned out to be lopsided beatdowns, one way or another, so Jones got into far more action than one would expect.

Against the blitz, Jones has completed 68% of his passes compared to Philo's 61%.

In terms of making big plays, Philo has done that far more than Jones. Philo has a 51% completion percentage on passes of 10+ air-yards, and that's a much larger number than Jones's 36%.

The Gators know they'll need to get Jadan Baugh and this run game going if they want to stand a chance against Georgia, but running against these Bulldogs is going to take a miracle.

Georgia's run defense rivals some of the best teams in the country, but it's not like they're allowing a million yards through the air either.

One big play is all it could take to turn the momentum around in a game like this one, and that's where Philo has an advantage.

He's been able to throw the ball downfield with relative ease, completing far more of his passes and making sure Baugh doesn't have to do everything himself.

For reference, Philo's longest completion of the year is for 63 yards, and he's had longs of at least 24 yards in all six games, surpassing 37+ in five of the six.

The longest pass Jones completed this year was 42 yards, and while the situations have been much different, he didn't complete a pass of more than 17 yards in his lone start vs. Texas.
