Florida Runs Past Ole Miss, 52-28, to Stay Unbeaten
Florida is 4-0, and it got there on the ground: 52 carries, 303 yards and six rushing touchdowns in a 52-28 win over Ole Miss.
Jadan Baugh opened the scoring with a 4-yard run in the first quarter, and Patrick Durkin added a 49-yard field goal. Lucas Carneiro answered with kicks of 36 and 46 yards for Ole Miss, around another Baugh 2-yard touchdown, so Florida led 17-6 at halftime. Trinidad Chambliss ran in from 8 yards early in the third and threw a two-point conversion to Horatio Fields to make it 17-14. Duke Clark's 45-yard run made it 24-14, Chambliss ran in again from 10 yards for 24-21, and Aaron Philo's 1-yard run at 3:45 put Florida up 31-21 going into the fourth.
That was as close as it got. Florida scored three times in the fourth quarter (Dallas Wilson 6-yard run, Philo's 5-yard pass to Amir Jackson, Baugh's 2-yard run with 4:00 left) against one Ole Miss touchdown, a 2-yard pass from Chambliss to Deuce Alexander. Florida never trailed.
The yards were close and the rushing was not. Florida gained 499, Ole Miss 426, but Ole Miss had 298 passing yards and only 128 rushing. Florida had no turnovers; Ole Miss had an interception and a lost fumble.
For fantasy, Baugh's 34.4 points came from 29 carries for 142 yards and three touchdowns, which brings him to 11 rushing touchdowns in four games. Chambliss scored 34.3 in a loss, Alexander had 7 catches for 134 yards, and Ole Miss falls to 3-1.
