Three reasons Texas A&M beats Florida: Florida's run game gets bogged down

The biggest key for the Gators last week was their ability to run roughshod over the Longhorns. The UF offensive line, which received so many accolades in the preseason, finally looked like a dominant unit, and Jadan Baugh was everything Gator fans wanted him to be at the position.

That allowed the heretofore turnover-prone DJ Lagway to become much more comfortable in the pocket and dictate the pace of the game. He was often in much easier downs and distances than he will be against the Aggies, and so he was less likely to press.

If the Aggies can stop Baugh and the Florida run game, then they will be able to put Lagway in those uncomfortable spots. That's going to be a big ask, but if Texas A&M was able to stop Jeremiyah Love in South Bend, they should be able to deal with Baugh.

He's a more physical runner than Love is, but he's not a better overall back. This will be a game where the linebackers will have to play really physically, but I trust in York, Sanford, and Williams to get the job done up front.
