Southern Miss managed only three points in the second half, unable to capitalize on early opportunities, and suffered from multiple turnovers and sacks.

SUMMARY: No. 9 Ole Miss’s national championship hopes were dashed after a 24-17 loss to Florida, a must-win game for the Rebels. Despite outgaining the Gators, Ole Miss failed to score in the red zone, resulting in two turnovers on downs and a missed field goal. Jaxson Dart had a strong start with two touchdown passes but threw two late interceptions. Ole Miss struggled on the ground without its leading rusher, while Florida capitalized with a balanced attack. The Rebels, now 8-3, must regroup for the Egg Bowl against Mississippi State. This loss likely drops them from playoff contention.
