Texan Lagway Seeks Redemption as Gators Face Aggies
11 Oct
Summary
- Florida upsets Texas a week ago
- Gators receive only one projection to beat Texas A&M
- Texan QB Lagway looks to shine in front of home crowd
As of October 12th, 2025, the Florida Gators find themselves at a crucial juncture in their season. Just a week ago, the Gators pulled off an upset over the Texas Longhorns in The Swamp. However, the national media have largely refrained from buying back into Billy Napier's squad, with only one member of the College GameDay crew, Desmond Howard, picking the Gators to upset Texas A&M on Saturday.
The Gators' defense is considered one of the best in college football, and creating pressure on Aggies quarterback Marcel Reed will be key to their success. Meanwhile, the offense led by Texan QB DJ Lagway is looking to build on its momentum after Lagway's best game of the season. Lagway, who didn't get to play against his home-state Texas Longhorns last year, will be highly motivated to put on a show in front of his friends and family.
A win over the Aggies would put the Gators back at .500 on the year and keep their slim College Football Playoff hopes alive. However, the Gators must win out the rest of their schedule to have any chance at the CFP. Back-to-back upset wins over ranked teams would go a long way in restoring the faith of those who have already given up on the Gators.
