DJ Lagway sack fumble. Game.

No protection. Two offensive line coaches. #Gators

TAMU up two touchdowns. That's the game.

#Gators offense had one chance after another and never capitalized. Same old story.

#Gators now have 5 penalties for 44 yards ... most of them punitive in unfortunate situations.

Texas A&M has committed / been called for one penalty. 5 yards.

Why flip the field when you can try to convert against a defense that’s allowed 2 of 33 on third down the last three weeks? #Gators

#Gators' 16-yard gain on second-and-20 negated for Dallas Wilson continuing to block out of bounds.

Exceptional.

Austin Barber is getting absolutely wrecked on the left side. DJ Lagway has no time. Holding on first down. Near fumble getting hit on the next play (incomplete). #Gators

Excellent tackle by Bryce Thornton creates another three-and-out for the #Gators defense. Certainly giving the offense plenty of opportunities in this game.

#Gators throw down the field and convert on third-and-11. Imagine that.

First third-down conversion of the night for 25 yards to midfield.

Billy Napier loses the Middle 8 again.

3. Screen on third down -- fumble lost.

Can't make it up.

#Gators open the second half with a three-and-out ... TAMU had a wide-open receiver on a third-down overthrow.

OnlyGators.com: Florida Gators news @gators.bsky.social · 2d

This is "safe" football if you're an FCS team not wanting to commit a scary turnover when you're closer than you should be.

It's straight up *scared* football if you're the Florida #Gators with weapons that tore apart Texas A&M's secondary in the first quarter.

There's no way to describe the offensive playcalling and lack of urgency on that #Gators possession as anything other than inane.

Billy Napier had 1:46 and two timeouts ... down 7 on road against a top-five team ... and he was hoping to break a run to create reason for a drive.

HALF: Florida #Gators trail 21-14 at No. 5 Texas A&M.

UF had two possessions inside the last 4:17 and barely even tried to move down the field. TAMU ball after the break. Welcome to hell.

Billy Napier has called three run plays so far ... completely at a loss for words ...
