College Station, Texas – The Texas A&M Aggies achieved a decisive 34-17 victory over the Florida Gators on October 11, 2025, improving their overall record to 6-0 for the season. This win marks the Aggies’ first 6-0 start since 2016 and solidifies their position at the top of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) with a perfect 3-0 in-conference record.
In the game, Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed displayed a strong performance, throwing for 234 yards and one touchdown, while also rushing for another score. Florida’s efforts, led by quarterback DJ Lagway, included passing for 245 yards with two touchdowns, but ultimately fell short as the Gators’ overall record slipped to 2-4 and 1-2 in the SEC.
The Aggies wasted no time, scoring touchdowns on their first three possessions. After an initial 14-14 tie at the end of the first quarter, Texas A&M took control of the game. Reed led the charge with his 8-yard touchdown run after a significant 67-yard pass to wide receiver Mario Craver. This was followed by a 22-yard touchdown pass to Jamarion Morrow to give A&M a 14-7 advantage. Additionally, running back Le’Veon Moss contributed with a 22-yard touchdown run during the second quarter, extending the lead.
Florida responded by scoring a 6-yard touchdown pass from Lagway to tight end Dallas Wilson, but struggled to keep momentum throughout the game. In total, Florida managed to score only three points in the second half. A key moment in the game included an interception in the end zone by Texas A&M safety Jordan Castell during the fourth quarter, further stifling Florida’s offensive efforts.
Texas A&M continued to dominate with a strong running game, racking up 183 rushing yards during the game, with Rueben Owens accounting for 51 yards. An impressive drive culminating in a 2-yard touchdown run by Owens consumed over eight minutes of clock time, pushing the Aggies’ lead to 31-17.
The game was characterized by Texas A&M’s strong defensive performance, as they sacked Lagway three times while Florida’s defense could not secure a single sack. Florida head coach Billy Napier remains winless on the road against ranked opponents, with a disheartening 0-14 record.
Looking ahead, Texas A&M is set to face Arkansas in their next game, while Florida will host Mississippi State. Both teams will be looking to build upon their performances as the NCAA season continues.
