Florida football had one of their best all-around performances of the season as they defeated the Kentucky Wildcats, 48-20, in the Swamp.

Quarterback DJ Lagway and running back Jadan Baugh were a big part of Florida’s offensive attack against Kentucky. The two true freshmen served as the Gators’ heartbeat on offense.

Lagway was 7-for-13 through the air with 259 yards passing and one interception. Lagway also had 46 rushing yards on 10 carries.

Baugh had 22 carries for 106 yards rushing and five touchdowns. With those five touchdowns, Baugh tied the Florida football program record.

Here’s what Gators fans thought of their performances.

DJ Lagway might mess around and save Napier’s job this season. I am telling you, this kid should’ve been the starter from Game 1. He makes everyone better.

Sometimes spring game performances are mirages. Jadan Baugh’s was not.
