Overview

• Florida leads 10-7 in the second quarter after Arch Manning hit Quintrevion Wisner for Texas’ first touchdown.
• Texas is without starting running back C.J. Baxter, while Emmett Mosley V and Quintrevion Wisner were listed as probable and available, and Florida entered with several players ruled out on the SEC report.
• Both defenses have defined the matchup, with Texas leading the SEC by yards per play allowed and Florida surrendering about 16 points per game.
• The game is Texas’ conference opener and a potential pivot point for Florida’s season with coach Billy Napier under pressure.
• Pre-game projections favored Texas by roughly 5.5–7 points, with SP+ forecasting about a 10-point margin, as the Longhorns made their first Gainesville visit since 1940.
