Mullen continues to stand behind Jones

The quarterback controversy among fans and the media is only going to intensify this week.

Starter Emory Jones threw a pair of ugly interceptions in the second half of Florida’s 42-20 win over South Florida on Saturday. He made several more poor decisions that nearly led to additional turnovers.

Meanwhile, Anthony Richardson accounted for 267 of the Gators’ 666 yards. That’s 40.1 percent of the total offensive output. He threw touchdown passes of 75 and 41 yards to Jacob Copeland, ran for an 80-yard touchdown and threw a dime to Copeland while running to his left for 36 yards.
