Atlanta – Shea Patterson and Van Jefferson were teammates at Ole Miss, good friends, the stay-in-touch-constantly-by-texting types of friends who now find themselves on opposite sides of the field.

Patterson is Michigan’s efficient quarterback. Jefferson is Florida’s leading receiver. Both provided a spark for their teams, which will face other in the Peach Bowl at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday. Michigan (10-2) is No.
