Steve Spurrier Makes Bold Statement on Florida's Win Over Ole Miss
Steve Spurrier was thoroughly impressed by the Florida Gators' display in Saturday's win over the visiting Ole Miss Rebels.
On Saturday, the Florida Gators triumphed over Ole Miss Rebels with a commanding 52-28 victory at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. This win extended the Gators' winning streak to four games at the start of 2026 and marked the Rebels' first loss of the season. Former Florida head coach Steve Spurrier was deeply impressed by the Gators' performance.
In an interview with the Another Dooley Noted Podcast, Spurrier remarked, “That was the best game there, maybe, in the past 10 years. Since I’ve moved back to Gainesville.” He praised the team's ability to run the ball effectively and score heavily against the No. 4-ranked Ole Miss Rebels. Quarterback Aaron Philo, who completed 16 of his 23 pass attempts for 196 yards and a touchdown, was hailed as a "beautiful passer."
Running back Jadan Baugh led the charge on the ground, rushing for 142 yards and three touchdowns on 29 carries, while wide receiver Duke Clark added 126 yards and a score of his own. Florida will aim to maintain its momentum as it gears up for its upcoming matchup against the Missouri Tigers on Saturday.
