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.
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.
HALFTIME:

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.
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.
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.
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.
