Texas A&M (3-5, 1-4 SEC) knows what’s at stake this Saturday, as the Florida Gators (4-4, 1-4 SEC) come to town, hoping that their versatile dual-threat quarterback Anthony Richardson can once again turn on the jets and run all over an Aggie defense that gave up 390 yards on the ground in their 31-28 loss to Ole Miss last weekend.
