Florida travels to Austin this Saturday for the sixth all-time meeting against Texas. The Gators, seeking to rebound from last week's loss to South Carolina, face the Longhorns in a historic matchup that dates back to October 1924. Despite a century of history, the two programs have met only five times.
Texas holds a 3-1-1 series advantage, including victories in 1939 and 1940. The rivalry resumed in 2024 when Texas joined the SEC, with the Longhorns securing a dominant 49-17 win in Austin. Florida finally secured its first win in the series last season, stunning Texas 29-21.
Saturday's game marks Florida's fourth trip to Austin, where they remain winless with a 0-2-1 record. A victory could significantly impact Florida's College Football Playoff aspirations.
