Texas A&M Football: 5 reasons the Aggies will defeat Florida in Week 7
By Dana Becker
3. Packing a 1-2 punch
There was a time where Keith Ford was viewed as one of the top running back prospects in college football.
Ford struggled at Oklahoma and eventually left the program, landing at Texas A&M. It’s taken him time to get back on track, but we are finally seeing what everyone thought we would.
Ford has posted two 100-yard rushing games this season, including another 70 vs. South Carolina. He has also caught 10 passes and has scored seven touchdowns.
Trayveon Williams is the top back for the Aggies and has produced 422 yards and five touchdowns this year, averaging over five yards per carry. But Williams has slowed down since his 203-yard performance in Week 1 vs. UCLA, failing to run for more than 56.
Against the Crimson Tide, Williams also showed his versatility, catching four passes for 60 yards to go along with 38 yards on the ground.
Combined, the two are one of the top duos in the country when healthy and are going up against a Florida defense allowing 156 yards rushing per game.
