Lacy is rewarded for his efforts at the end of the quarter with a one-yard direct snap to put the Rebels back in front. He’s got 205 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 24 carries.

END OF 3RD QTR: FLORIDA 24, No. 7 OLE MISS 20

Ole Miss finally gets some life back with a 59-yard run down to the Gators 1. And we’re right back where we started a few drives ago.

After the offense in the first half there has been a turnover on downs and both teams traded punts. The Rebels second drive of the quarter went no where after a pair of sacks of Chambliss.

Kiffin played a lot his analytic hits on the drive and come up with zero points while draining nearly half a quarter.

A near seven-minute drive by Ole Miss goes for naught when Chambliss’ pass to Harrison Wallace is at his feet and incomplete on fourth and goal at the Gators two yard-line for a turnover on downs.

First Half Stats

HALFTIME: FLORIDA 24, No. 7 OLE MISS 20

Florida gets down the field and the two-minute offense nets them a 38-yard field goal by Smack.

Kiffin is just dogging the refs and kind of hard to blame him after that drive of two killer penalties.

Florida 21, Ole Miss 20 1:52 2nd Qtr

Carniero scores on a 23-yard field goal but that was due to a bad call by the refs. A hands to the face flag was thrown on Florida but the refs deemed it was after the score. Upon review Diego Pounds did not have a helmet before the ball went through the uprights.

Florida 21, Ole Miss 17 6:54 2nd Qtr

Defense does not get the stop it needs after a score and Antonio Kite might not be 100 percent. He gets burned and Lagway connects with Sturdivant for 57-yard touchdown pass to put the Gators back in front.

Ole Miss 17, Florida 14 9:39 2nd Qtr

Florida called for offsides on a 3 and 15 that bails out a Chambliss incomplete pass. The next play Chambliss hits De’Zhaun Stribling for a 43-yard touchdown pass.

Florida 14, Ole Miss 10 14:56 2nd Qtr

Jadan Baugh caps the gift from Chambliss with a two-yard touchdown run. Early pivotal moment in the game here for the Rebels.

END OF 1ST QTR: No. 7 OLE MISS 10, FLORIDA 7

Chambliss first pass on the ensuing drive is picked off after he was trying to throw it to an open Caleb Odom. Jayden Woods takes it down to the Rebels five yard-line. Game on now.

Ole Miss 10, Florida 7 1:13 1st Qtr

Lagway did not have much pressure after Echoles departed, for what it’s worth.

Will Echoles goes down and has to come out of the game. It seemed to give the Gators offense life as Lagway took over the drive from there with a first down run, a 42-yard pass then a five-yard touchdown run on the keeper.

Ole Miss 10, Florida 0 3:58 1st Qtr

Lacy breaks off a 41-yard run but the Rebels second drive stalls inside the Gators 10. Lucas Carniero converts a 27-yard field goal try.

Another 3 and out for the Gators. Lagway has not been ineffective thus far.

Ole Miss 7, Florida 0 9:09 1st Qtr

Ole Miss has a new single-season record holder for rushing touchdown as Lacy scores from three yards. That is No. 17 for Lacy who caps off a 12-play drive.

The offense is having its way in the passing game so far against the Gators secondary.

Florida won the toss and took the ball. The Rebels defense answered with an opening 3 and out that included a pair of Lagyway incomplete passes.

———————————————————————————————————————————

Well, the Florida game is here for No. 7 Ole Miss and with it all the drama that was anticipated and turned up to 11.

The game is crucial as the Rebels (9-1, 5-1 Southeastern Conference) need a win to get one away from punching its ticket to the College Football Playoffs. But all the talk and spotlight has been on head coach Lane Kiffin and the will he, won’t he storyline with the Florida coaching vacancy.

On the health front Ole Miss is in good shape for it being the 11th game of the season in a SEC schedule. Defensive back Antonio Kite is good to go for Saturday’s game as is Jamarious Brown, who was off the final availability report 90 minutes ahead of kickoff after being listed as ‘Questionable’ since Wednesday.

Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. CT on ESPN. Keep it here once the game starts for highlights, score updates and more.
