Social media reacts as Florida gets first SEC win of Jon Sumrall era - Gators Wire
Florida went into Jordan-Hare Stadium and won a game for the first time since 1999 on Saturday night. Behind another strong performance from running back Jadan Baugh, the Gators earned their first signature win of the Jon Sumrall era in blow-out fashion. It was the first road win for UF since 2024.
Sumrall's team entered the SEC opener largely untested in Weeks 1 and 2 after dismantling Florida Atlantic and Campbell. Many experts felt the Gators may struggle with the elevated level of competition. That was not the case as UF dismantled Alex Golesh's team from start to finish.
The defense intercepted Byrum Brown one minute into the game and sacked him seven times. On offense, the Gators generated more than a dozen plays of 20-plus yards or more, gashing the Tigers' defense with regularity.
Auburn fans began heading toward the exit early in the fourth quarter as the writing was on the wall late in the game.
As expected, Gator Nation had plenty to say afterward. From celebrating the road breakthrough to dissecting Florida's performance, social media was on fire from kickoff to the final whistle.
