00:02We talk about hottest team in the conference has to be the Aggies.
00:06Everybody's looking at Alabama, but this team is undefeated.
00:09They've answered the bell yet again.
00:12This was a red-hot Florida team, fresh off their home victory over Texas.
00:17They laid 7.5 against the Gators and dominate on both sides of the ball, coach.
00:2234-17, Marcel Reed and this team are stepping up.
00:26Mike Elko has done a fantastic job in year two.
00:30He really has.
00:31He's got these kids playing.
00:32They do what they've got to do to win.
00:35If they've got to outscore somebody, they've shown they can do it.
00:38If they show they've got to win with defense, they've shown they can do it.
00:43Florida was within seven points going into the fourth quarter.
00:47Florida was not out of this thing, but Texas A&M did everything they can do.
00:52And you know what's so special about this team?
00:55Their third-down stats, their defense.
00:57The opposing teams have been successful two out of 33 times in the last three games.
01:05These are SEC teams.
01:06We're talking about Florida, one for 10.
01:09Mississippi State, one for 10.
01:11Auburn, 0 for 13.
01:13They're 2-33, the opposing teams, on third downs.
01:17You're going to win a lot of ballgames if you're getting people off the field that consistently.
01:2120% third-down defense, one of the best in the country.
01:28Unbelievable what Mike Elko has been able to do defensively in year number two.
01:33And I have to give him props because at the start of the season, they were giving up a ton of points to UTSA and some of the other teams out of conference.
01:43They've really adjusted schematically once conference play has started.
01:48And you look at their odds entering week number eight, coach.
01:51They could go toe-to-toe with the likes of any team, including Alabama.
01:56I think if they were able to play today or this weekend, this game would be a lot closer than people think just because of how good that defense has been.
02:05A key loss, though, and we have to monitor it is Le'Veon Moss did go down in that win against Florida.
02:13Have to see the injury report this week and beyond to see about his availability.
