If you have any questions throughout the game, we'll be answering quite literally everything ya'll shoot our way in the comment section below.

4th Quarter:

5:14 4Q: Florida 51 - Ole Miss 29

Wow another touchdown by TE Kyle Pitts. He's torched Ole Miss today. 4TDs for Pitts. 6 TDs for Trask.

11:00 4Q: Florida 44 - Ole Miss 29

Three catches for Kenny Yeboah on the drive, including an 8 yard TD from Corral. 2pt good. Really nice drive for the new Rebel TE, a grad transfer.

Corral under throws Kenny Yeboah a bit there, but the big boy makes a really nice adjustment for the catch.

First catch for a #OleMiss TE this season. Play looked like straight up Madden 4 verts.

3rd Quarter:

So Florida scored another field goal at some point here and its Florida 41 - Ole Miss 21 after three quarters.

7:21 3Q: Florida 38 - Ole Miss 21

Ole Miss kicking update: still widely problematic. Luke Logan not even close from 42 yards. Also – why kick down 17 in the second half?

9:30 3Q: Florida 38 - Ole Miss 21

Sam Williams nearly got home for a second time on the drive and Ole Miss stalls Florida for a 55yd field goal. Defense made a few plays on this drive, both in the pass rush with Williams and a pretty defended pass from Jay Stanley on a full layout.

13:43 3Q: Florida 35 - Ole Miss 21

Beautiful, two-play drive. Ealy scores after a long connection between Corral and Moore. We are so damn excited about this Ole Miss offense. Time for the defense to show up.

14:19 3Q: Florida 35 - Ole Miss 14

Trask hits Pitts for a 71-yd touchdown, their third TD connection today. Yikes.

Ole Miss can't do anything to stop Kyle Pitts. Meanwhile, Kyle Trask (5 TDs) is trying to push for the Florida PTDs record in a game (7).

Rebel secondary needs work

HALFTIME:

I know the score at halftime sucks for #OleMiss fans but there's a lot of reason for optimism with this offense so far... at least when Corral is behind center

2nd Quarter:

0:01 2Q: Florida 28 - Ole Miss 10

Pitts from Trask for the second time today to end the half

3:10 2Q: Florida 21 - Ole Miss 14

Busted coverage leads to an easy touchdown for Kadarius Toney from Trask.

12:04 2Q: Ole Miss 14 - Florida 14

Matt Corral Dontario Drummond into the end zone with a 14 yard reception. That's two for Drummond, who may be the No. 2 receiver.

1st Quarter:

0:50 1Q: Florida 14 - Ole Miss 7

Trask to Grimes on a really pretty back shoulder throw for the score. Long run by Kadarius Toney sets up the score.

Ah man, great throw from Kyle Trask to Trevon Grimes in the front corner of the endzone. Contested catch there too.

Beautiful play. #Gators 14 Ole Miss 7. :50 left in 1Q.

2:26 1Q: Ole Miss 7 - Florida 7

Lane Kiffin wins the trick play battle but gets no points off it. Gators turn the ball over on a trick play interception by AJ Finley. Ole Miss runs their own trick, and Drummond hits Ealy for a 45 yard pass, but Matt Corral's pass picked off after being tipped at the line.

Gervon Dexter intercepts a pass batted by Brenton Cox Jr. in the redzone. Florida gets the ball back.

Fantastic start for both players. Cox has 5 tackles, a sack, two TFLs, and a PBU. Dexter has a TFL and an INT.

3:43 1Q: Ole Miss 7 - Florida 7

Matt Corral with a really impressive drive, hitting Elijah Moore on a 28 yard pass on 3rd and 18 before a 46 yard touchdown to Drummond.

That 3rd and 19 pass to Elijah Moore might’ve been the best throw I’ve seen Corral make.

Really navigating the pocket well, climbs up and hits a dart over the middle of the field.

Kiffin’s got a quarterback. https://t.co/TYzcDVxxyE

5:48 1Q: Florida 7 - Ole Miss 0

Trask to Pitts for the first score of the game on a 3rd and goal from the 1. Some good play on the drive for the Ole Miss defense though, especially Keidron Smith in the secondary.

10:36 1Q: Ole Miss goes for it on 4th down on their opening drive. Corral ends up getting sacked on the 4th and 3 attempt.

Yes, Corral took the sack. But love to see Kiffin going for it on that 4th and 3.

Outcome of the play doesn't make Kiffin's decision the wrong one
