Fun, but obscure fact- the last time Florida played a top 5 Ole Miss squad was more than 50 years ago in the fall of 1964.
In that game a young true Sophomore QB ended Ole Miss's relevance as a contender in major college football, beating #1 Ole Miss in Oxford and establishing a name for himself as force to be reckoned with in the SEC.
Over the next 50 years, Steven Orr Spurrier would, first as a player and then as a coach, achieve more at two separate SEC schools achieve more than the entire Ole Miss program.
In fact, in a single decade from 1991 through 2000 Steve Spurrier won more SEC titles than Ole Miss has in its entire 100+ year history.
