Florida Faces Ole Miss in Final Home Game

The Florida Gators aim to honor their seniors in their final home game against Ole Miss, despite a challenging season with injuries to key players like quarterback Graham Mertz. Florida's young team, led by freshman quarterback DJ Lagway, faces a formidable Ole Miss defense known for its sack record. Meanwhile, Virginia is set to face SMU, a team looking to secure a spot in the ACC Championship. SMU's robust offense and defense, particularly their rushing game led by Brashard Smith, pose a significant threat, despite their vulnerabilities in pass defense. Virginia, aiming for its first bowl eligibility since 2019, will rely on standout players like Malachi Fields and Chico Bennett Jr. to overcome SMU's strengths. The game represents a pivotal moment for both teams, with SMU eyeing a College Football Playoff spot and Virginia seeking a landmark win at home.
