Overview
- Kickoff is Saturday at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN at Kyle Field, with Texas A&M listed around a 7.5-point favorite.
- Texas A&M is 5-0 with a surging ground game and a defense that has held its last two opponents to 1-for-23 on third down, though penalties remain a recurring issue.
- Florida enters 2-3 after totaling 457 yards with six sacks and two interceptions in a 29-21 win over then-No. 9 Texas, highlighted by DJ Lagway’s season-best passing day and freshman Dallas Wilson’s 111 yards and two touchdowns.
- Napier’s job status remains unsettled despite the Texas win, and he is 0-13 against ranked opponents on the road during his tenure.
- Most national and local predictions lean toward the Aggies, with attention on Marcel Reed’s big-play offense against a Florida defense that just delivered its best performance of the season.
