Rebels 10 Gators 38

Florida improved to 5-0 after a dominant win over Ole Miss in the Swamp. The Rebels came to Ben Hill Griffin Stadium as the #3 team in the Nation. They left like so many teams before them: GatorBait. It was one of the most electric atmospheres I have experienced in The Swamp in quite a […]
