Thoughts on Gators win:
— Frank Frangie (@Frank_Frangie) September 6, 2026
* To not bury the lede, looks like the Gators might be pretty good. I know, it was just FAU. But there is something there. Pretty clear. Offense will be explosive.
* If there is a better back in the country than Jadan Baugh, I need to see him. Wow.

Jon Sumrall on #Gators D: 'Our defense was atrocious at times, quite honestly. We had a hard time keeping pace with them. I'm really a little bit frustrated with how we play defensively at times. I don't think we're as good as we think we are.'

Florida has scored 66 points on 67 offensive plays.
— Inside the Gators (@InsideTheGators) September 6, 2026
This is the first time Florida has scored more than 50 points against an FBS opponent since a 63-35 win against Arkansas in 2020.
