College Station, Texas – The Texas A&M Aggies achieved a significant milestone by defeating the Florida Gators 34-17, improving their record to a perfect 6-0, their best start since 2016. With this victory, the Aggies are now 3-0 in Southeastern Conference (SEC) play, solidifying their position as a formidable competitor this season. Meanwhile, the Florida Gators fell to a disappointing 2-4 overall and 1-2 in SEC play following their latest loss.

The game began with a strong performance from the Aggies, who scored touchdowns on their first three offensive possessions, establishing an early lead that Florida struggled to overcome. Although the Gators managed to tie the game at 14-14 by the end of the first quarter, they were outscored 20-3 for the remainder of the game, demonstrating the Aggies’ dominance in both phases of play.

Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed played a pivotal role in the victory, throwing for 234 yards and one touchdown while also contributing a rushing touchdown. In the closing minutes, running back Rueben Owens sealed the game with a 2-yard rushing touchdown, pushing the score to 34-17. The Aggies had previously only added one field goal after their strong start but regained momentum with Owens’ score, keeping the pressure on Florida.

The Gators’ offense faced challenges throughout the game, with quarterback DJ Lagway completing 245 yards and throwing for two touchdowns, but lacking the support necessary to ignite a comprehensive comeback. Florida’s defense faltered against Texas A&M’s offensive strategy, allowing a total of 183 rushing yards while failing to convert more than 1 of 11 third-down attempts. Notably, running back Le’Veon Moss had to leave the game due to injury, after managing 46 rushing yards and scoring one touchdown.

Texas A&M’s defensive unit also shined, recording three sacks and six tackles for loss. Dayon Hayes was particularly impressive, managing to both sack Lagway and force a fumble in a key moment for the Aggies. Florida struggled to maintain offensive flow, resulting in only 74 rushing yards across the game.

Florida had previously experienced a brief resurgence with a victory over then-No. 9 Texas, ending a three-game losing streak. However, this latest defeat further deepens challenges for the program, who will look to rebound in their upcoming match against Mississippi State. Conversely, for Texas A&M, the team’s next game against Arkansas provides an opportunity to continue their momentum and aim for an even more impressive season record.

The Aggies’ performance in this game was characterized by a combination of effective offensive plays and solid defensive execution, showcasing their readiness to compete against ranked opponents in the coming weeks.
