Florida head coach Jon Sumrall is as perplexed as many Ole Miss fans that his Gators are favored by 3.5 points over the fourth-ranked Rebels Saturday in Gainesville.
“Who’s got us favored against these guys?” and, after being told it was Vegas, quipped, “There’s a lot of good drugs out there.”
“Whoever’s doing the (spread), didn’t watch tape. They’ve got the best quarterback in college football, I think”
Ole Miss is entering the game after a thrilling 32-24 win over No. 7 LSU. Florida just squeaked past conference rival Auburn on Saturday, a 44-39 win on the road.
The Gators are now 3-0 and ranked No. 22 nationally.
And that quarterback Sumrall speaks of…Trinidad Chambliss…is the reigning SEC offensive player of the week, ought to win the Heisman Trophy if voting were done today, and threw for 363 yards with three total touchdowns, completing a career-high 33 passes to help the Rebels defend Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in front of a record crowd of more than 70,000.
