Comments
These are two underachieving teams of 2022. Neither team has lived up to expectations. At least Florida has the excuse of a first-year head coach. Jimbo Fisher has been at A&M for several years. Florida is on a two-game losing streak but I’m taking the Aggies in this one. College Station has one of the tougher venues to visit in college football. Kyle Field holds like 150,000 people, right?
