Florida football and Texas will meet for the fourth time in school history when the two schools tangle on Saturday in Austin, Texas.

The Florida Gators (4-4, 2-3 SEC) are looking to bounce back from a 34-20 loss to rival Georgia in Jacksonville on Nov. 2.

It’s the first meeting between Florida and Texas since 1940, when the Longhorns blanked the Gators 26-0 in Gainesville. Texas leads the all-time series 1-0-1.

Texas and Oklahoma joined the SEC in 2024, bringing two iconic brands to the conference.

“It is probably considered one of the flagship institutions, if not the flagship public school,” Florida football coach Billy Napier said. ” I do think that there’s a brand, there’s an East Coast and West Coast effect in terms of their alumni and then certainly that state in particular in our country, I think there’s something to that.

“The population of the state, I just think you bring a lot more viewers to the table, and certainly there’s some history there with the program as well.  A lot of great coaches, a lot of great players and championship teams so, for as long as I can remember, Texas has been a factor and one of those brands that has been a contender.”

Texas (7-1, 3-1 SEC) is coming off an open week after winning 27-24 at Vanderbilt on Oct. 26.
