Texas A&M freshman quarterback Marcel Reed shone in his first collegiate start, leading the Aggies to a 33-20 victory over Florida and breaking a 10-game road losing streak. He completed 11 of 17 passes for 178 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 83 yards and a touchdown. Reed stepped in for injured starter Conner Weigman, who was sidelined due to an AC joint injury in his throwing shoulder. The win marks a significant moment for first-year coach Mike Elko, while Florida's head coach Billy Napier faces increasing scrutiny after his team's poor performance, which could lead to his dismissal. Florida struggled throughout the game, with this loss marking their seventh consecutive defeat against power-conference opponents. Napier's tenure is now under serious threat as he continues to face criticism from fans and analysts alike.
