College Station, Texas – The Texas A&M Aggies claimed their sixth consecutive victory of the season by defeating the Florida Gators 31-17 on Saturday, October 11, 2025, at Kyle Field. The Aggies’ win improved their record to 6-0 overall and 3-0 in Southeastern Conference (SEC) play, while the Gators fell to 2-4 overall and 1-2 in SEC competition.
The game, which kicked off at 6:00 p.m. Central Time, showcased strong performances from both teams early on. Florida managed to score 14 points in the first quarter, driven by quarterback DJ Lagway’s passing touches to Amir Jackson and Dallas Wilson. However, the Aggies responded effectively, outscoring the Gators 20-3 in the last three quarters, demonstrating their dominance on both offense and defense.
Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed threw for 234 yards and completed a touchdown pass while also rushing for 37 yards and a touchdown. The running game was effectively supported by the offensive line, which provided Reed ample protection and facilitated key rushing plays. One notable drive for the Aggies was a 12-play, 50-yard effort culminating in a 2-yard touchdown from Rueben Owens II.
After Florida’s fast start, the Gators faced considerable challenges. They struggled offensively as the game progressed, only accumulating 19 yards on their last 19 plays of the first half. Florida’s attempts to extend their lead fell flat, converting just 1 of 11 third-down opportunities throughout the match. Despite a strong initial performance by Lagway, who was an impressive 13-for-22 for 146 yards in the first half, he encountered difficulties in the second half, stalling his team’s momentum.
Defensively, Texas A&M played a significant role in the outcome of the game. The Aggies’ defense was relentless, notching five quarterback hurries and three sacks against Florida. This defensive pressure was highlighted by a crucial turnover in the late stages of the match when Vernell Brown III fumbled after a catch, allowing Texas A&M to capitalize on the mistake and secure their lead with a 22-yard field goal following a fumble recovery at Florida’s 25-yard line.
Florida had briefly regained some hope with a 45-yard field goal from kicker Trey Smack, but the Gators could not sustain the momentum needed for a comeback. The Aggies continued to maintain control of the game, underscoring their performance with both offensive and defensive achievements.
This matchup was critical for both teams, especially for Florida, which had previously achieved an unexpected win against Texas. The result adds pressure on Florida as they look to regroup in their upcoming games, whereas Texas A&M continues to solidify its presence as a top contender in the SEC.
