Gators Face Unbeaten Camels in Final Tune-Up

The Florida Gators are returning to Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on Saturday, seeking to achieve their second consecutive victory under the guidance of first-year head coach Jon Sumrall. The team kicked off its 2026 season with a commanding 66-21 win against Florida Atlantic, marking a promising start for the new era in Gainesville. This game represents Florida's final nonconference tune-up before they begin their challenging SEC schedule next week with a trip to Auburn.

Campbell, the opposing team, arrives with its own momentum, holding a 2-0 record for the first time since 2018. They secured victories over East Tennessee State and No. 24 Western Carolina. The Fighting Camels' offense has shown effectiveness, particularly through the air, accumulating over 500 total yards against Western Carolina while limiting their opponent's rushing game. Their quarterback, Kamden Sixkiller, has been a key player, contributing significantly through both passing and rushing.

Florida's quarterback, Aaron Philo, had an impressive debut, throwing for 275 yards and three touchdowns against Florida Atlantic. He will look to build on this success against Campbell's defense. The Gators aim to continue evaluating their roster and build on their explosive offensive performance from the previous week before facing tougher conference opponents. The game is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on SEC Network+.
