Jaxson Dart’s final college game comes in the Gator Bowl, with No. 16 Ole Miss facing Duke

Associated Press  

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jaxson Dart never considered skipping Ole Miss’ bowl game.

Gator Bowl history for Duke and Ole Miss Duke is making its Gator Bowl debut while Ole Miss previously played in the game three times, none more memorable than a 1971 matchup against Auburn in which Heisman Trophy runner-up Archie Manning played with his left arm in a soft cast.
