Saturday’s matchup between Florida and Ole Miss will mark the first time that either team has played a game in over 270 days.
It would be 271 days for UF since its 36-28 victory over Virginia in the Orange Bowl, while a whopping 303 days have come and gone after the Rebels’ 21-20 loss to Mississippi State last November.
It’s no wonder then that Gators coach Dan Mullen and his team are chomping at the bit to get the season underway finally.
“For our guys, obviously, it's a huge adjustment this week for us because you got to go full-on change into game mode, different types of practice, different preparation, different routine,” Mullen said.
