For a team with SEC and national championship aspirations, the 38-10 loss to Florida was certainly a huge blow to the Ole Miss football team. The Rebels dropped from third to 14th in the Associated Press poll.
“Obviously, it was a disappointing night down in Florida,” Hugh Freeze, head coach, said. “Credit to Florida, they are a much improved football team. They are very good defensively and they made explosive plays on us. We certainly did not play our best. Some of that had to do with them, some of that had to do with us not making plays or not coaching them to play well enough.
