First Quarter


The opening quarter saw both teams exchanging blows as the Rebels and Gators each found their way into the end zone. The Rebels managed to edge ahead slightly with a field goal by Lucas Carneiro, bringing the score to 10-7. Kewan Lacy was instrumental for Ole Miss during this period, showcasing his rushing prowess early on.


Second Quarter


In the second quarter, Florida's offense came alive as they scored 17 points against Ole Miss's defense. Despite this surge from the Gators, quarterback Trinidad Chambliss kept his composure and connected with De'Zhaun Stribling for a crucial touchdown pass that helped keep Ole Miss within striking distance at halftime.


Third Quarter


Both defenses tightened up significantly in the third quarter as neither team managed to put points on the board. The Landsharks' defensive line was particularly effective during this period, forcing three-and-outs and maintaining pressure on Florida's quarterback.


Fourth Quarter


The fourth quarter proved decisive for Ole Miss as they mounted an impressive comeback. With two touchdowns scored late in the game by running back Kewan Lacy—who finished with three rushing touchdowns—the Rebels secured their victory over Florida. A pivotal interception by Wydett Williams Jr., which halted a promising drive by Florida, marked what went wrong for Ole Miss Rebels earlier but ultimately turned into an advantage that shifted momentum decisively towards them.


As fans reflect on what went wrong for Ole Miss Rebels earlier in the game and celebrate their eventual triumphs, attention now turns to their next matchup against Mississippi State Bulldogs scheduled for November 28th at Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field in Starkville. Fans can catch all of this action live on ESPN Networks starting at 12:00 PM EDT.
