The Gators finished tied for third in the Southeastern Conference with Kentucky and Mississippi State in their fourth straight bowl season.
The Aggies scored first on a Tony Franklin field goal from 39 yards out after a drive of nearly 4 minutes to give them the lead midway through the first quarter.
After both teams punted, the Aggies drove from their 33 to the Gator 16 and Franklin made a 33-yard field goal to make it 16–0 with 1:26 left in the second half.
However, a Florida interception gave the ball back to the Aggies later in the quarter and George Woodard scored on a 3-yard touchdown plunge to make it 31–7.
The Gators scored one last time in the fourth quarter on a Terry LeCount touchdown plunge to make it 31–14.
