Baugh Runs Wild as Florida Thumps FSU 40-21, Ending Seminoles' Bowl Bid

Reports point to Tulane coach Jon Sumrall as Florida's imminent hire after Billy Napier's midseason exit.

Overview

  • Sophomore running back Jadan Baugh rushed for 266 yards on 38 carries with two touchdowns, the most by a Gator since Emmitt Smith's 316 in 1989.
  • Baugh cleared 1,000 yards for the season, becoming Florida’s first 1,000-yard rusher since 2015 and the first UF underclassman to reach the mark since Emmitt Smith.
  • Quarterback DJ Lagway threw three touchdown passes as the Gators snapped a four-game skid and finished 4-8 under interim coach Billy Gonzales.
  • Florida State fell to 5-7, ensuring both teams miss bowl games for the first time in the same season since 1978.
  • Multiple outlets report Florida is targeting Tulane’s Jon Sumrall, with a hire possible as soon as Sunday, as FSU proceeds with Mike Norvell returning next season.
