Ole Miss Rebels Game Notes
Rebels wide receiver Izaiah Hartrup (undisclosed) and running back Henry Parrish (leg) will both sit out Saturday’s game against the Gators. Parrish leads the team in rushing attempts (130), rushing yards (678), and rushing touchdowns (10) this season.
Ole Miss running back Logan Diggs is questionable to play this weekend due to a knee injury. Diggs had 652 rushing yards in 9 games of action as a member of LSU last season. He’s been working his way back from a significant knee injury he suffered last year.
Florida Gators Game Notes
Gators quarterback Graham Mertz (knee), offensive lineman Roderick Kearney (undisclosed), offensive lineman Devon Manuel (undisclosed), defensive back Devin Moore (undisclosed), defensive back Asa Turner (shoulder), linebacker Grayson Howard (undisclosed), running back Treyaun Webb (undisclosed), defensive back Ja’Keem Jackson (undisclosed), wide receiver Eugene Wilson (hip), defensive back Jason Marshall (shoulder), wide receiver Kahleil Jackson (knee), and defensive lineman Jamari Lyons (ankle) will all miss Saturday’s game against the Rebels.
Florida will start true freshman DJ Lagway at quarterback on Saturday. He led the team to a 27-16 upset win over LSU at home last weekend. He has a QBR of 62.8 on 118 passing attempts this season.

Ole Miss vs. Florida Betting Prediction
This has all the makings of a letdown spot for Ole Miss. They last played on November 9th and secured a crucial win over Georgia at home by a score of 28-10. The Rebels’ defense looked terrific and proved that they could play with the best teams in the country. Ole Miss played so well that they likely now only need to win their next two games to secure a playoff berth. If only things would be so simple in the SEC.
Florida is coming off of a big win over their own. The Gators toppled LSU at home last weekend 27-16 in a contest where they averaged an efficient 8.7 yards per passing attempt and 6.6 yards per rushing attempt. True freshman QB DJ Lagway started that game. The Gators are 3-0 straight up and 2-1 against the spread in games where Lagway led the team in passing yards. Florida will be free to play loose, and I like their chances to shock some people and stay competitive throughout this game. I’m taking the Gators and the points at home in Gainesville on Saturday afternoon.
