Highlights

Jadan Baugh runs wild in the Swamp as Florida opens the Jon Sumrall era with a 66-21 win over FAU

First-year Florida coach Jon Sumrall stepped into the Swamp minutes before the opening kick and was admittedly surprised. It was even more intense than what he experienced as a Kentucky linebacker more than two decades ago.
