The Florida Gators and the Texas A&M Aggies will face off in an SEC clash at noon ET Nov. 5 at Kyle Field. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'
The afternoon started off rough for Florida on Saturday, and it ended that way, too. They suffered a grim 42-20 defeat to the Georgia Bulldogs. The Gators were in a tough position by the half, with the score already sitting at 28-3. The losing side was boosted by WR Xzavier Henderson, who caught five passes for one TD and 110 yards. That receiving effort made it the first game that Henderson has posted more than 100 yards receiving.
Meanwhile, A&M was close but no cigar on Saturday as they fell 31-28 to the Ole Miss Rebels. A silver lining for A&M was the play of QB Conner Weigman, who passed for four TDs and 338 yards on 45 attempts.
Florida is expected to lose this next one by 3. However, those who like betting on the underdog should be happy to hear that they are 2-0 against the spread when expected to lose.
The losses put Florida at 4-4 and the Aggies at 3-5. Two stats to keep an eye on: The Gators enter the contest with 21 rushing touchdowns, good for 14th best in the nation. But A&M ranks 17th in the nation when it comes to rushing touchdowns allowed, with only seven on the season. We'll see if their defense can keep Florida's running backs out of the end zone.
