No. 4 Florida looks to improve to 3-0 on the season as it travels to College Station to take on No. 21 Texas A&M Saturday.
The Gators have been riding high thanks to solid performances by quarterback Kyle Trask and a number of offensive weapons including dynamic tight end Kyle Pitts. Trask threw for 4 touchdowns, including 2 to Pitts, as the Gators defeated South Carolina 38-24.
While Florida’s offense is Playoff worthy, its defense still needs some major work.
Meanwhile, after squeaking past Vanderbilt to open the season, the Aggies sustained a heavy defeat at No. 2 Alabama, falling 52-24 to drop to 1-1.
ESPN has released its projection of the outcome based on its Football Power Index, and as expected, the Gators are favored as they have been given a 70.7 percent chance to win.
The 2 teams have only met 4 times, and each team has won twice. In 2017, the Aggies defeated the Gators, 19-17, in Gainesville.
Kickoff from Kyle Field on Saturday is set for noon ET and will be televised on ESPN.
