Florida football showed why its run game may be the best in the country vs Ole Miss

Jadan Baugh and Duke Clark led a dominant rushing attack as Florida came away with 52-28 victory over Ole Miss.

Florida football showcased the prowess of its run game against Ole Miss in a 52-28 victory. Coach Jon Sumrall's headset went flying after he berated the officials, but it became a symbol of his frustration. Starting running back Jadan Baugh led the way, rushing for 142 yards and three touchdowns on 29 carries. His performance was compared to a future Heisman Trophy candidate.

Duke Clark, another key player, broke through the Ole Miss defense for a 45-yard touchdown, followed by similar exploits. Baugh's performance tied for the most touchdowns in the SEC since 1992 and surpassed his career-high. He became the third Gator to rush for over 100 yards in a game, joining Fred Taylor and Emmitt Smith. Wide receiver Dallas Wilson also added to the excitement with a touchdown on a jet sweep.

The team's success can be attributed to the offensive play-calling and the offensive line's elite blocking. Florida not only out-rushed Ole Miss 302 yards but also scored a point in the first four games since 2001. Running backs Baugh and Clark formed the first duo to each have a 100-yard game since 2022. Their chemistry and mutual support were evident, as they cheered each other on.
