The No. 4 Ole Miss Rebels will play the No. 21 Florida Gators this Saturday in Gainesville.

This game is coming one week after Ole Miss' dramatic victory over former head coach Lane Kiffin and his No. 10 LSU Tigers.

Many are concerned Florida could be a trap game for the Rebels and give them their first loss of the season. Head coach Pete Golding, QB Trinidad Chambliss and the rest of the Ole Miss team will be looking to continue their momentum heading into a bye week.

Injury Report

Ole Miss Out: CB Cedrick Beavers, CB Dorian Barney, S MJ Preston, LB Ant Davis Jr., LB JaMichael Garrett, CB Victor Lincoln Jr., S Craig Tutt, OL Jalan Chapman and OL Emmanuel Faulkner.

Florida Out: None

Ole Miss Questionable: RB Kewan Lacy

Florida Questionable: WR Eric Singleton Jr.

The only major concerns for either team are their two questionable players. Kewan Lacy is considered a game-time decision because of a shoulder injury he sustained against LSU, and Florida's Singleton Jr. is in a similar situation and is hoping to make his debut for Florida on Saturday.

What to Know About Florida

This game will be the first ranked opponent of Jon Sumrall's tenure as head coach at Florida. Sumrall and Florida already have a 44-39 conference win over Auburn, but that team isn't as talented as Ole Miss' and doesn't have the same history with Sumrall.

Before accepting the Florida job, Sumrall was head coach of the Tulane Green Wave and led them to a playoff appearance last season. That appearance was short-lived, however, since Pete Golding and Ole Miss beat them 41-10 in what was Golding's first game as head coach.

Sumrall also used to be a position coach for Ole Miss, having been the inside linebackers coach for the Rebels in 2018.

In terms of players, Florida's running back Jadan Baugh, quarterback Aaron Philo and wide receiver Vernell Brown will be the playmakers to watch. Pete Golding's defense will have a tough task ahead of them on Saturday.
