Overview

  • Marcel Reed threw for 234 yards with a touchdown and added a rushing score as No. 5 Texas A&M improved to 6-0 and 3-0 in the SEC.
  • After a 14-14 first quarter, the Aggies limited Florida to three points the rest of the way, holding the Gators to 1-for-11 on third down with three sacks allowed.
  • Billy Napier’s decision to go for it on fourth-and-6 near midfield failed, and A&M answered with a 12-play, 50-yard drive of about eight minutes capped by Rueben Owens II’s late touchdown.
  • Le'Veon Moss exited in the second quarter with a leg injury and did not return, and coach Mike Elko offered no definitive postgame update on his status.
  • The win marks A&M’s best start since 2016 and raises its CFP profile, while Florida fell to 2-4 as its winless run on the road against ranked opponents continued.
