Raw and Unedited Instant Analysis: Texas A&M @ Florida
1st Quarter:
Aggies on the opening drive with a backup QB went 2-2 on third downs all the way down to the UF 12 and another 3rd down this time third and 9 and a TD but UF catches a break on the Aggies hold….UF bailed out on the hold that time forcing an even longer 3rd down call it 3rd and 19 now with 8:55 to go in the first from the UF 21-yard line. Pass down to the 12 yard line and Aggies come away with three points on the opening drive of the game for the Aggies. 3-0 with 8:29 to play in the first quarter.
Here comes the Gators and Graham Mertz 1st and 10 from the UF 35-yard line. 8:14 to play. Carry up the guy with MJ and no gain. And as you all see now Tre Wilson is out for today. No surgery needed but will not see Tre today. Hayden Hansen for a first down Gators at the UF 48-yard line. 7:20 to play in the first quarter. MJ up the gut again for about three or so. 2nd and 7 now for the Gators. And mix up in the backfield with Mertz and MJ and loss of about 6 so a big 3rd and 13 for the Gators on UFs opening drive from the UF 45 yard line. Mertz had Burke wide open great effort by Burke but real high and can’t come down with it so punt time for the Gators.
Aggies ball at the 20-yard line with 5:40 to play in the first quarter – flag down on the play running into the kicker only five yards though so another kick coming for the Gators. 1st and 10 from the Aggies 8-yard line and the D needs a quick three and out. Horrible tackling by the Gators and Moss bounces all the way up to the 35 yard line for 27-yards and a first down Aggies. Moss again for about two yards making it 2nd and 8 with 4:30 to go. Pass no gain good tackle in open space by Shemar James. And again 3rd and long, 8 this time and easy first down by the Aggies all the way to the UF 45. Another run for two yards this time, 2nd and 9 and Coach Kline calling a nice game early on for the Aggies. EJ Smith for a run of about one yard so here we go again a 3rd and long again for the Aggies can the Gators hold, this time? Call it 3rd and 5 – under 2 to go in the first – pass for about 2 yards…..Punt time for the Aggies, nope, going for it on 4th and 5 from the UF 38 or so – HUGE PLAY – PI on the Gators – holding by S. Denson and that is another first down for the Aggies – great call by the umpire. 1st and 10 from the UF 25 or so – QB draw no gain, Denson nice tackle and a flag down illegal shift on Aggies so 1st and 15 – Run for about four yards tackle by Boone. 2nd and 11 – Total yard so far 146 to 10 – and TD pass Aggies…10-0 Texas A&M.
2nd and 12 to start the second quarter for Lagway and the Gators. Now we are under a weather delay - 1st play of the first series for Lagway was a handoff to MJ and TFL to get to the 2nd and 12 -

Great punt and coverage to the Aggies 1 yard line. 1st and 10 Aggies with 8:07 to play until the half – QB sneak no gain it looked like. Moss right up the gut for a huge gain again up to the Aggies 26.

Here we go two minutes to go until half and they call it 4th and one yard from the UF 22-yard line – Aggies trying to end this game right now and they will go for it and the way they are running right at the UF D not surprised – First down up the middle about a four yard gain. 1st and 10 from the UF 18 – Moss around left end for a few but a flag down and a holding on Aggies. 1st and 10 now – with 1:26 to go until half – now they have added a personal foul on the Aggies so now it looks like a 1st and 35 WOW. I mean if they score on this drive not sure what to say. Moss for about four or so…
2nd and about 31 for the Aggies lol wow…42 plays for the Aggies and 12 for the Gators in the first half – INSANE --- pass for about two yards. 3rd and 29 – Timeout Gators ---- and they ruled targeting and unfortunately by rule that is a good call…1st and 10 Aggies from the UF 24 yard line or so --- incomplete and another flag down and should be on Wingo holding…..Aggies BULLY the Gators down to the one yard line….1st and Goal 15th play of this drive over seven minutes long and right up the gut for a TD, 20-0 Aggies on the one yard rushing TD with 44 seconds left until half --99-yard 16 play drive

And after Mertz takes UF down the field for the first TD of the game for the Gators the Aggies hit on a 73 yard pass play and a TD and no good on the two point try so 26-7 Aggies and I go back with Mertz if I am Napier after his last drive..
Baugh out of the endzone to the UF 25 or so. Aggies have LOST ten straight road games fyi for those keeping score…..1st and 10 Gators and it is DJ at QB so just rotating by series DJ under pressure throws high and incomplete had a guy but under lots of pressure running around…2nd and 10 –MJ up the guy no gain and where is Baugh? 3rd and long for the Gators with no chemistry on offense – DJ sacked he has to let the ball go or break the pocket…MJ did not help out on the chip block…

Checking the review to see if Webb was down in the backfield and he was down left knee was down so another loss on a run for the Gators…and here comes a 3rd and 14 - 3rd and 14 with 5:57 left in the 3rd and Mertz is 8/10 and a TD for a little over a 100-yards - offsides by Aggies free play and Mertz had Spierto??
