No. 4 Ole Miss Scheduled to Visit No. 21 Florida

No. 4 Ole Miss was scheduled to visit No. 21 Florida in Gainesville on Saturday, Sept. 26, for a Southeastern Conference matchup between two unbeaten teams. The game was listed for a 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, with television coverage on ABC. The supplied reports previewed the contest and did not establish whether it was played or provide a result. Both teams entered the scheduled game at 3-0. Ole Miss reached that mark with a 32-24 win over LSU the previous week, while Florida beat Auburn 44-39. The matchup brought together an Ole Miss team coming off a ranked victory and a Florida side seeking to continue its unbeaten start under first-year coach Jon Sumrall. Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss had thrown for 924 yards and seven touchdowns through three games, according to one preview. Against LSU, he passed for 363 yards and two touchdowns, while also contributing on the ground. Reports differed in how they counted his scoring output in that game: one described three total touchdowns, including a rushing score, while another listed two passing touchdowns. The accounts agree on the 363 passing yards and the Rebels’ 32-24 victory.
