Florida football: Gators use the run to outlast No. 7 Auburn

Florida football had it all against Auburn Saturday in Gainesville.

Big defensive stands. Striking pass plays. A big running attack.

Wait, what?

After experiencing running game futility, No. 10 Florida football got its run game when it counted, which led to a 24-13 win over No. 7 Auburn — pushing the Gators to 6-0, a record they haven’t had in more than a decade.

It was the 10th straight win for the Gators, dating back to last season.

Florida football out-rushed the best rushing team in the Southeastern Conference, 132-124.

It was a breakout run by Lamical Perine in an otherwise stagnant second half to that point.
