    Run the Baugh: Breaking Down Florida’s Win at Auburn with Riley Orovitz
    2026/09/23
    Riley Orovitz joins the Bleav in Florida Gators podcast to take a deep dive into Florida’s wild 44-39 SEC victory over Auburn — the Gators’ first SEC win under head coach Jon Sumrall. Riley, the first Jacksonville Jaguars beat reporter for WRUF and the Gators Football beat reporter for The Alligator, shares her perspective from covering the game inside Jordan-Hare Stadium. We discuss the atmosphere in Auburn, what stood out most about Florida’s performance, and what the win revealed about this new-look Gators team. The conversation covers Florida’s explosive offense, Aaron Philo’s emergence at quarterback, why the Gators ultimately chose Philo over Tramel Jones, and the similarities between Florida’s offense and the San Francisco 49ers. We also break down Jadan Baugh’s monster performance, including whether his 162-yard, three-touchdown outing should put him in the Heisman conversation. On the other side of the ball, we discuss the defense’s seven-sack performance, the concerns that remain in the secondary, and whether Florida can consistently win games if it has to score 40-plus points every week. We also address the Gators’ 16 penalties for 138 yards and what needs to change moving forward. Plus, Riley shares her favorite moment from the Auburn game before we wrap up with the Gators Gauntlet.
