Florida vs Auburn: live updates, Week 3 game score, highlights

Florida opens its SEC season on Saturday night with a road game against unbeaten Auburn, marking the first significant challenge for the Jon Sumrall era. The Gators' previous two games against FAU and Campbell were relatively easy, but Auburn presents a tougher task for the offense led by Aaron Philo and Jadan Baugh. Byrum Brown will be a tough quarterback for the Gators to handle, while their defense might put more pressure on Philo than he has faced in his first two starts.
