Ole Miss Rebels’ Jaxson Dart Leads Charge Against Florida Gators in Intense College Football Match
In a highly competitive matchup, Ole Miss Rebels quarterback Jaxson Dart has been a standout performer against the Florida Gators. As of halftime, the game is tied at 14-14, with both teams displaying resilience and strategic playmaking. Dart has shown poise under pressure, completing 16 of 23 passes for 237 yards and two touchdowns, including a score to Cayden Lee and another to Tre Harris.
Dart’s performance is crucial as the Rebels navigate through injuries, with key players like Yam Banks and Tre Harris heading to the locker room in the first half. Banks was involved in coverage on one of Florida’s touchdown passes, while Harris’s departure appeared to be related to a possible reaggravation of his groin injury.
The Rebels’ defense has faced challenges in containing Florida’s freshman quarterback DJ Lagway, who has impressively extended plays and led the Gators to two scores. The Gators have also found success on the ground, rushing for 120 yards in the first two quarters.
Micah Davis, used out of the backfield due to injuries to running backs Rashad Amos and Logan Diggs, has contributed to both the rushing and passing games. However, the Rebels have left some points on the field with a missed field goal by Caden Davis and a failed fourth-down conversion deep in Gator territory.
The outcome of this game is critical for Ole Miss’s College Football Playoff (CFP) hopes, and the Rebels will need to find more points and shut down Florida’s offense to secure a victory.
