The Gators won their Week 2 matchup over Samford, 45-7, but the team is still recovering from its 41-17 season-opening beatdown against Miami. Regardless, the Aggies know that the Gators still pose a threat, especially at home. "We're playing in Gainesville," Aggies defensive back Will Lee III said. "It's going to be a loud stadium. And we know how Florida gets. I just feel like us being together as a family and understanding what we're going to do ... we'll be fine."
Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko said that the Aggies will have no choice but to be ready for SEC play. "I don't think we have much of a choice," he said. "Next week we're going down to The Swamp, and the expectation is we're going down there and playfootball. ... That's where we're at. ... "We will go back and study the tape for them and figure out how to clean stuff up. Now, turning our attention to next week. First SEC game, a road game. We know what both of those things mean for this program.
