At the onset, the Ole Miss Rebels needed a road win over the Florida Gators to keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive. Yet they failed to secure one. Ole Miss lost to Florida in Gainesville, likely knocking the Rebels out of the College Football Playoff conversation. Overall, Ole Miss was 3-of-14 on third downs and 2-of-4 on fourth downs. The rebels failed to score a touchdown while in the red zone.
First, Florida struck on Saturday on an eight-yard touchdown pass from DJ Lagway to Elijhah Badger in the second quarter. Still, Ole Miss was able to answer on the ensuing possession with a 43-yard touchdown pass from Jaxson Dart to Tre Harris. Saturday marked Harris’ first game back with Ole Miss since he was injured in the loss to LSU. However, he would later exit the game and not return due to another lower-body injury in the first half.
After the Rebels hauled in an interception thrown by Lagway, they capitalized. Specifically, Ole Miss got a 22-yard touchdown pass from Dart to Cayden Lee to make the score 14-7. However, Florida answered partway through the second quarter with another scoring pass from Lagway. That made the score 14-14 at the intermission.
