The No. 7 Texas Longhorns (3-1) take on a conference opponent when they travel to face the Florida Gators (1-3) on Saturday at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in a marquee SEC clash.
The Longhorns come in off a bye, giving Arch Manning and company extra time to prepare for a Gators defense that has been one of the stingiest units in the conference. For Florida, the challenge is simple: find consistency on offense. DJ Lagway has shown flashes of brilliance early in his freshman campaign. But turnovers and a shaky ground game have stalled drives in critical moments.
For Billy Napier's team, this is the kind of matchup that can flip a season’s narrative, especially with the home crowd behind them. Texas, meanwhile, is aiming to prove it can handle SEC road tests as smoothly as it has handled Big 12 challenges in the past.
Both defenses are built to make life tough for opposing quarterbacks, which could turn this into a physical, grind-it-out contest. With two young signal-callers in the spotlight, whichever side protects the ball better may walk away with the statement win.
