In this story:

Coming off of four consecutive SEC losses, the Texas A&M Aggies will have their hands full yet again when they welcome the Florida Gators to Kyle Field.

The Gators, who despite struggling themselves at times, are an extremely talented team, particularly at the quarterback position with Anthony Richardson.

In fact, three of their four losses have come against teams currently ranked in the top 15, in No. 1 Georgia, No. 2 Tennessee, and No. 15 LSU, while the fourth came against a (then) No. 20 ranked Kentucky team.

As for the Aggies, it has been less glamourous, with two of the four straight losses coming against Mississippi State and South Carolina, while the other two came in tight battles with (then) No. 1 Alabama, and No. 11 Ole Miss.

So can the Aggies get back on track against the Gators?
