Jadan Baugh and No. 21 Florida run roughshod over 4th-ranked Ole Miss, 52-28
Gainesville, Fla. (AP) — Florida's new coach Jon Sumrall called his team a "sleeping giant" upon taking over 10 months ago, but they've woken it up. The Gators (4-0, 2-0 SEC) dominated fourth-ranked Ole Miss (3-1, 1-1) in a 52-28 victory on Saturday, reaching a 4-0 record for the first time since 2019. Jadan Baugh led the way with 142 yards and three touchdowns, while Duke Clark added 126 yards and a score.
Florida's 302 rushing yards and six touchdowns on the ground were the most against a top-five team since 1996. Ole Miss, without star running back Kewan Lacy, struggled to find momentum, and Florida's defense was relentless, stopping Alabama's star player and several others. Baugh's achievement of rushing for 100 yards in five straight games tied him with Emmitt Smith and Fred Taylor for the record.
