Florida shows it can finish with another second-half closeout and a makeshift dunk contest

Live Mint  

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida players eager to celebrate their latest victory, the one that made them bowl eligible for the first time in two years, found a suitable prop on the sideline. Not only did the Gators knock the Rebels out of the College Football Playoff picture, they won their fourth consecutive home game and raised expectations for coach Billy Napier’s fourth season in Gainesville. Florida lost four games in 2023 after leading in the second half, including three — against Arkansas, Missouri and Florida State — in the fourth quarter. I’m proud of the resilience the guys showed, the way that we performed.” Florida held Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin's high-scoring offense to three points in the second half.
