Schedule Update: Ole Miss Football vs. Florida Gators Start Time in Week 12 Matchup

No. 6 Ole Miss (9-1, 5-1 SEC) will square off against the Florida Gators on Saturday night in a primetime SEC showdown at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

Lane Kiffin and Co. will look to keep the program's College Football Playoff hopes alive in Oxford with a significant challenge ahead in Week 12.

"This will be a challenging matchup. These guys, shoot, just two weeks ago were ahead of Georgia in the fourth quarter," Kiffin said this week.

"Anytime you’ve got great defensive players — and they’ve played excellent defense for most of the season — and have a quarterback that’s extremely talented and a phenomenal running back, that’s a recipe to know that, hey, they can beat you at any time.

"We’re going to have to play really well to get ourselves to 1-0."

Now, with kickoff inching closer in Oxford, all eyes will be on the Rebels as the program looks to further solidify its College Football Playoff chances.

“I think these guys are going to come out ready to play. You know, they beat us last year. They got great players," Kiffin said.

"You’ve seen them pull off big games and go beat Texas and play other people really close like Georgia. They got great players and I think that second half (of the Kentucky game) is not going to be indicative at all of what we would see.”

Lane Kiffin's Take: 1-0 Mentality

"I think our guys are really excited about this matchup," Kiffin said this week on the SEC Teleconference. "They’ve put themselves in position to play for a lot, so we’ve got to get to 1-0 and then we have a bye.

"It’s kind of like a one-game season here — put everything into it, no matter what it takes, and get to 1-0. Rest up and worry about the games after that.
