Florida Upsets No. 9 Texas 29-21 Ending Three-Game Losing Streak in SEC Clash

In a notable 2025 college football matchup, No. 9 Texas Longhorns were upset by the Florida Gators with a final score of 29-21 in Gainesville. Florida's quarterback DJ Lagway threw for 298 yards and two touchdowns, while Jadan Baugh contributed with 107 rushing yards and a touchdown, helping Florida dominate the first half and secure their first win over Texas in five meetings. Texas quarterback Arch Manning passed for 263 yards but struggled under pressure, being sacked six times and throwing two interceptions in the fourth quarter. Florida's defense was pivotal, with their defensive line disrupting Texas' offense and a blocked punt resulting in a safety that extended Florida's lead. Despite a late Texas rally, including a 69-yard drive ending in a touchdown, they could not overcome Florida's lead, highlighting Texas' offensive struggles and raising doubts about their national title prospects. Florida's young offensive talents, including freshman Dallas Wilson, who scored twice in his first game back from injury, showcased potential despite the team's sub-.500 record, adding complexity to their coaching situation.
