Florida Vs. Texas A&M Final Score: Florida Rallies On The Road, Wins 20-17
The No. 24 Florida Gators defense put the clamps on the Texas A&M Aggies in the second half as the Gators rallied from a 17-7 deficit to win their first SEC game, 20-17.
The Aggies offense was running all over the Gators in the first half but the defense clamped down starting in the third quarter. The Gators forced the Aggies to two quick 3-and-outs in the third quarter as they slowly started to whittle away the lead.
Gators quarterback Jeff Driskel connected with senior tight end Omarius Hines on a big 39-yard pass to set up a red-zone attempt to start the fourth quarter. The Gators converted as running back Mike Gillislee ran in his second touchdown of the day and the Gators took a 20-17 lead.
This was Texas A&M's first SEC game after the school departed from the Big-12 conference.
Box Score Hero: Running back Mike Gillislee kept the Gators in the game, rushing for 83 yards on 14 carries and scoring two touchdowns along the way.
Rankings Ramifications: Texas A&M was garnering a few votes in the polls but, with the loss, they are most likely going to be out of that conversation next week. With no real upset ahead of them, Florida will most likely remain around No. 24.
But Did They Cover? It was a small 1.5-point spread for Florida, so just barely.

Florida Injuries: Jelani Jenkins, Josh Evans Among Downed Gators
The Florida Gators defense is getting a bit battered at the moment as linebacker Neiron Ball, linebacker Jelani Jenkins, defensive lineman Shariff Floyd and safety Josh Evans have left the game against the Texas A&M Aggies in the second quarter.
Floyd was taken out of the game an injury to his left leg. Jenkins was removed with an injury the arm. Ball was removed after what appeared to be an injury to his right hamstring. Evans took a nasty shot to the head trying to make a tackle and went down hard.
The Gators defense is currently struggling a little bit as they are trailing the Aggies 17-7 in the second quarter. Obviously the injuries are not helping that cause at all.

Look! Texas A&M Has SEC Stuff All Over Its Stadium!
Lookin' good, Aggies:
This was all immediately followed by kickoff difficulties and a false start, and nothing out of the ordinary for an SEC game has happened yet.

You Would Expect College Station To Make Better College GameDay Signs
GameDay is alive in College Station for the Florida-Texas A&M game, but the signs this week could use a little resuscitation. It's your first game in the SEC, Aggies, maybe you could've gig'em'd a little harder. (The exception, of course, is SB Nation blog Good Bull Hunting getting a 24-hour turnaround on the new logo, front and center.) This is big boy football now. In the meantime, let's look at a few, shall we?
You most certainly aren't. You're not that creative either.
Oh, hey. Towlie's here.
Probably my favorite sign of the day. It's quick, makes an easy but not all-too-obvious joke and is displayed prominently.
Longhorn Network jokes are always in season.
His favorite board is 'how to win friends and influence people.'
Kevin Oppan Sumlin got that gangnam style. If the Aggies beat the Gators, he better do the horseriding dance.
And your bonus pic of the day:
Poor Lassie -- err -- Reveille. I feel your pain. I wouldn't want to be that close to Corso, either.
Did we miss any great, good, okay, awful GameDay signs? What kind of a sign would Big Sean put up if he made one for GameDay? Did Reveille ever get away from the dastardly crazy man?
