Florida running back Jadan Baugh continued his climb up the program record book with another big performance in Week 2.
Baugh rushed for 136 yards and two touchdowns against Campbell, giving him 296 yards and five scores through the first two games of the season. More importantly for the record book, the junior moved from No. 20 to No. 16 on Florida’s career rushing list.
He passed James Jones, Mike Gillislee, Deshawn Wynn and Kelvin Taylor this week and now sits at 2,139 career rushing yards. Jimmy DuBose is next at 2,159, putting Baugh just 21 yards away from the top 15.
The two-touchdown day also pushed Baugh to 20 career rushing scores, moving him past Percy Harvin and into 15th place in program history. He is now one touchdown shy of tying Montrell Johnson and Gillislee at 21.

Baugh also recorded the seventh 100-yard rushing game of his career and his second in as many weeks this season.
That gives Baugh Watch plenty of movement entering Florida’s first SEC game of the season at Auburn.
