Live Blog: Florida Gators tied with No. 9 Ole Miss Rebels — 14-14 2ND QUARTER
No. 9 Ole Miss has a spot in the College Football Playoff in its sights. But the Florida Gators and a trip to The Swamp are standing in its way. Saturday, the teams meet in a significant game for both programs.
Ole Miss is 8-2, 4-2 in the SEC. The Rebels were off last weekend and they are rested and healthy for this game. Ole Miss beat Georgia 28-10 at home in its most recent game and the Rebels feature both a high-powered offense and a rock-solid defense. And, of course, their coach Lane Kiffin, is one of the most recognizable names in college sports.
Meanwhile, Florida, 5-5 overall and 3-4 in the SEC, beat then-No. 22 LSU 27-16 last weekend at home. That win, the emergence of quarterback DJ Lagway and a defense coming off one of its best games has the Gators feeling confident.
Can Florida coach Billy Napier get a signature win at home over a top-10 team?
