UF’s upset bid at Ole Miss falls short as Lane Kiffin’s Rebels keep alive CFP hopes

OXFORD, Miss. — With little left to play for, the Florida Gators tried to play spoiler.

Once again, the target was Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin. This time, though, his team rallied for a 34-24 come-from-behind win to keep alive its CFP hopes in what could be his final home game with the Rebels.

The Gators arrived as two-touchdown underdogs amid a head coaching search and with Kiffin in their sights. But after his team picked up a 10th win for the third consecutive season, an Ole Miss first, Kiffin was focused on getting the Rebels to their first CFP.
