No. 4 Ole Miss vs. No. 21 Florida Live Game Updates and Box Score

In this story:
Coming off one of the biggest regular-season wins in Rebel history, Ole Miss is not getting any time off and will now have to face the Gators. This afternoon in Gainesville, the Rebels will look to improve to 4-0 and in The Swamp.
Florida enters this game having just cracked the Top 25 after a convincing win over Auburn. But Ole Miss will be the first ranked team the Gators have faced this season, making this the first real test for Sumrall's team.
Florida is led by star running back Jadan Baugh, who has dominated on the ground all season. He leads the country in rushing touchdowns, is averaging 150 yards per game on 8.5 yards per carry, and has quickly established himself as one of the most dangerous backs in college football.
Ole Miss, meanwhile, has Kewan Lacy listed as doubtful for the game, which would be a major blow to the offense. Pete Golding summed up the mindset perfectly earlier this week: “If there’s anybody in this building that’s overlooking this game, there’s something wrong with them.”
The Rebels need to bring the same aggressive mentality they showed against LSU. If the front seven can continue playing at the level they have all season, Ole Miss has the talent to slow down Baugh and shut down the Florida offense.
Florida enters the game as the favorite, and the Gators are facing an Ole Miss team that some may believe is satisfied after beating Kiffin. The Rebels have a chance to show the country exactly why they are ranked No. 4, and head into the bye week undefeated.
