When No. 25 Florida plays host to No. 3 Mississippi on Saturday, Will Grier will be under center and not Treon Harris.
Grier rallied the Gators to a 28-27 win over Tennessee on Saturday while Harris served a one-game suspension.
Coach Jim McElwain announced after Wednesday’s practice that Grier would get the nod because he “played pretty good in some situations last week” and “deserves to go this week.”
It will be Grier’s fourth consecutive start. In the Gators’ first two games, McElwain implemented a two-quarterback system.
Grier was inconsistent, but against Tennessee, McElwain’s hands were tied. He would not rule out Harris seeing action this week against the Rebels.
