How to Watch Florida's Week 3 Matchup Against Auburn

AUBURN, Ala. — The Florida Gators open SEC play on the road at Auburn, reigniting one of the SEC's most historic rivalries.

For first-year head coach Jon Sumrall, it gives him his first opportunity for a signature win.

"It's exciting. I'm excited every week," Sumrall said on Monday. "I mean, SEC play, they count different. They count twice. I tell our team all the time when you turn to conference play, you’re counting your overall record and your college record. The ones the last two weeks counted overall. So these games count twice. So, it's a tremendous challenge, tremendous opportunity, go on the road. If there's a whole lot that needs to be said to get anybody further in to go play in SEC football games, we got the wrong people here. And I'll say something to hopefully get them ready, but there should be some self-motivation here."

For Florida's returning players, it is a chance for revenge against Auburn head coach Alex Golesh and quarterback Byrum Brown, who led USF to a win over the Gators last season. However, Florida does not see it that way.

"That game doesn't matter to this game now, but it definitely gives us the experience," linebacker Myles Graham said. "We know what to expect more. It's the same kind of system, so we know what to expect going into it."
