[11] He was the starting running back in losses to both Georgia and Texas (recording a touchdown in the latter) before sharing starting duties with Johnson after his return from injury. Against LSU, Baugh had a crucial game-sealing 55-yard touchdown run in the dying minutes to guarantee a 27-16 win for the Gators [12] .
