Overview
- The Gators will host No. 4 Ole Miss at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET with the game airing on ABC.
- Florida’s offense has surged under coach Jon Sumrall, averaging about 544 yards and 54 points per game while generating 0.753 points per play.
- Florida’s defense has shown weakness against the pass and ranks roughly 63rd in total defense and 98th in pass defense, despite recording 11 sacks and creating six turnovers in three games.
- Ole Miss is led by quarterback Trinidad Chambliss, who went 33-of-48 for 363 yards and two touchdowns in the win over LSU, and the Rebels listed running back Kewan Lacy as questionable on the SEC injury report.
- Early betting lines and model projections expect a close, high-scoring game with Florida about a 3.5-point favorite and some models picking the total to go over 58.5, and a Florida win would push the program to 4-0 and shape short-term SEC perceptions.
