Gainesville Bound
Ole Miss will play its first true road game of the season when the Rebels travel to Gainesville to take on Florida. The Rebels opened the season at a neutral site against Louisville in Week 1. Ole Miss and Florida enter the matchup with the all-time series tied at 13-13-1. The Rebels hold a 6-5-1 advantage in games played in Gainesville but will be looking for their first win in The Swamp since 2008.
Up-Tempo
Ole Miss operates the second-fastest offense in the SEC, averaging just 23.1 seconds per play. The Rebels' up-tempo attack features quarterback Trinidad Chambliss, running back Kewan Lacy and wide receiver Deuce Alexander. The trio gives Ole Miss multiple options to move the ball while maintaining its quick offensive pace.
Ranked Results
Ole Miss head coach Pete Golding became the first FBS head coach to earn four wins over AP-ranked opponents within his first six career games. Florida will mark the sixth ranked opponent Golding has faced through his first seven games leading the Rebels. Golding enters the matchup with a 4-1 record against ranked opponents.
Passing It Around
Ole Miss enters the matchup leading the SEC and ranking eighth nationally with 330.7 passing yards per game. Quarterback Trinidad Chambliss has thrown at least one touchdown pass in 16 consecutive games, a streak tied for third-longest in program history.
Perfect Starts
Ole Miss and Florida enter the matchup with identical 3-0 overall records and 1-0 marks in SEC play. Florida head coach Jon Sumrall has faced the Rebels three times as a head coach, with all three meetings coming during his tenure at Tulane. Sumrall is 0-3 in those matchups.
