The Florida Gators dropped to 1-2 (0-1 SEC) on the 2024 season after another embarrassing home loss in year three under Billy Napier. Texas A&M ran for 310 yards and cruised to a 33-20 finish.
Three thoughts following the game:
New year, same story on defense
A backup quarterback strolled into Gainesville and led his offense to 488 total yards and 33 points. This feeling is all too familiar for UF fans, who have watched Billy Napier’s squad lose to three backup quarterbacks since the 2023 season (Utah, FSU, Texas A&M).
Missed tackles, blown coverages, and a lack of pressure allowed Aggies’ quarterback Marcel Reed to complete 11 of 17 passes for 178 yards and two touchdowns.
