Florida Gators Look to Upset No. 9 Ole Miss and Secure Bowl Eligibility

Florida aims to build on momentum from last week's LSU win as Ole Miss fights to stay in College Football Playoff contention.

  • The Gators, sitting at 5-5, need one more win to become bowl eligible and will face No. 9 Ole Miss on Senior Day in Gainesville.
  • Ole Miss enters the game on a three-game winning streak, including a dominant victory over Georgia, and cannot afford a loss to maintain its College Football Playoff hopes.
  • Florida quarterback DJ Lagway is nearing full mobility after a hamstring injury, while Ole Miss regains star receiver Tre Harris, who leads the SEC in receiving yards despite missing three games.
  • The matchup pits Florida’s improving offense and explosive playmakers against Ole MissSEC-leading defense, which tops the nation in sacks and tackles for loss.
  • Florida will be without key defensive players in its secondary, creating challenges against Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart, who is closing in on school passing records.
