Episode Details

It was 24-21 in the third quarter. Everybody woke up this morning with 52-28 in their head, and 52-28 is a real score — but it is not what the game was. It is what the game became in the last eighteen minutes.

Ole Miss trailed 17-6 at the half, and then Trinidad Chambliss ran in two touchdowns in the third quarter to make it a three-point game on the road in the loudest building on the schedule. Then the tank hit empty. Time of possession in that game was 36:59 to 23:01. Florida ran the football 53 times. Our defense was on the field for almost 37 minutes in the third high-intensity game of the month.

September 6, No. 24 Louisville, decided by three. September 19, No. 7 LSU, 32-24. September 26, No. 21 Florida on the road. Three ranked opponents in 21 days, and the only breather was Charlotte.

Steven Willis goes live Sunday morning with what the box score actually says, and then it is your show — two full segments of your comments and questions.

📌 THREE THINGS

1. It was a one-score game in the third quarter. Total yards were 498-426. First downs 27-25. Ole Miss threw for 298 to Florida's 196. Chambliss went 25 of 34 for 298 with two rushing touchdowns, and Deuce Alexander caught seven for 134 and a score. That is not an offense that got shut down. The 24-point margin came from two places: turnovers 2-0, and 14 extra minutes of football.

2. The fatigue tell is Duke Clark. Jadan Baugh — the back everybody spent the week worried about — went 29 carries for 138 yards, 4.8 a pop. Florida's backup, Duke Clark, went 12 carries for 126. That is 10.5 a carry. The second back averaged more than double the starter on less than half the carries, and Florida scored 21 in the fourth quarter. You do not forget how to tackle because a different number comes in. That is legs.

3. Eight ranked teams lost Saturday. No. 12 USC, No. 13 Penn State at home to unranked Wisconsin, No. 14 Tennessee, No. 16 Louisville at home to unranked Wake Forest, No. 18 Michigan, No. 19 Missouri to No. 24 Mississippi State, and No. 23 Texas A&M 35-6 to No. 10 LSU. Ole Miss lost on the road to a ranked team about to be top ten. And the team that dismantled Texas A&M yesterday is the team Ole Miss beat 32-24 seven days ago.
