Florida Football: 3 reasons the Gators will beat Texas A&M in Week 6

1. Kyle Trask, Kyle Pitts are playing at high level

The Gators come into this game with one of the most productive offenses in the SEC and the nation. They average 44.5 points per game, which is second in the SEC behind the No. 2 Alabama Crimson Tide. Unlike the Tide, the Gators have a great balance of offense in the passing and run games. The Gators rank third in the SEC in total yards per game (495).

Florida’s offense is lead by the Heisman Trophy contender Kyle Trask and star tight end Kyle Pitts. In just two games, Trask has thrown for 684 yards, 10 touchdowns and only one interception and has a quarterback rating of 196.4 on 51-of-71 passing. He has played like one of the most productive quarterbacks in the nation in a sport full of great gunslingers.

His tight end was already receiving major recognition for being an NFL-caliber talent before the season. Pitts is playing at an All-American level by catching 12 passes for 227 yards and six touchdowns.

The Gators have one of the most established offenses in the first year of Brian Johnson as offensive coordinator. The Gators will face an Aggies defense that likes to heavily stress the strength of which team’s offense they are playing.

Last week against the Crimson Tide, they double-teamed wide receiver DeVonta Smith on the outside and slot receiver Jaylen Waddle with a linebacker in a zone coverage scheme. This allowed sophomore wide receiver John Metchie to account for five receptions for 181 yards and two touchdowns.

The Gators can learn from the solid production from one of the role players from the Crimson Tide by throwing different routes and schemes that complicate the Aggies’ defensive coverages. Pitts would likely be double-teamed, leaving senior flex receiver Kadarius Toney and wide Trevon Grimes to contribute in a big way.
