Story summary

On Saturday night, September 19, Florida defeated Auburn in Auburn, Alabama, in a highly anticipated SEC game that both teams' new head coaches were eager to win after starting the season unbeaten. The Gators emerged victorious with a score of 44-39, ending their six-game skid away from home. Florida running back Jadan Baugh had a standout performance, rushing for 162 yards and scoring three touchdowns. Despite strong efforts by Auburn quarterback Byrum Brown, who threw for 271 yards and ran for 65 with two touchdowns himself, the Tigers fell short in their attempt to improve to 3-0. The game was marred by Auburn's sloppy offensive play, especially on the ground where they managed only 102 rushing yards. Florida head coach Jon Sumrall secured his first road win against Auburn since taking over the program.
