The Gator Nation woke up on Sunday morning feeling pretty about their beloved football team — probably better than they have felt all season so far. That pink cloud came in the form of a 24-17 victory over the Ole Miss Rebels inside Ben Hill Griffin Stadium during Week 13 of the 2024 campaign.

The Rebels nearly found points on its second drive with a eight-play, 69-yard drive that found itself on the Gators' 11-yard line for a fourth-and-one. Rather than kick the field goal, Ole Miss elected to use its short-yardage package with defensive tackle JJ Pegues, who has six rushing touchdowns on the season.
