GAINESVILLE -- Texas A&M had the ball on their own one-inch line, backed up against the screaming Florida faithful in the pouring rain, and proceeded to run the ball 99 yards on 15 plays while offensive coordinator Collin Klein slammed his Monster Energy drink in the booth to take a 20-0 lead in the Swamp.
