The Florida Gators went into College Station and walked out of Kyle Field victorious after a hard-fought battle against a weakened Texas A&M team.
The game started off very competitively, with both offenses firing on all cylinders. Each club scored on their first three drives, and Florida found itself trailing 24-21 at the half. Much like what happened in the Georgia game, the Gators’ defense came out of the half inspired and held the Aggies scoreless through the final 30 minutes of the game. Meanwhile, [autotag]Anthony Richardson[/autotag] and Co. picked up right where they left off and scored three more touchdowns to secure the 41-24 victory.
This is the best Florida’s offense has looked all year, and that might be true for the defense as well, especially in the second half. Now 5-4 with South Carolina and Vanderbilt up ahead, the Gators control their own destiny. A New Year’s Six game might be out of the question, but winning out would put Florida in a nice spot to finish out Year 1 of the Billy Napier Era.
Here are five major takeaways from Florida’s win over Texas A&M and what it means for the team’s future.
