  "account": "After a statement win against LSU, Mississippi's football team traveled to Florida in Week 4 to begin a two-game away stretch. The sixth-ranked Rebels entered the game as underdogs, a fact that even caught Florida coach Jon Sumrall off guard. During a media availability, Sumrall commented on the oddsmakers favoring Florida, jokingly asking who had the team favored against them. Vegas' point spread was brought up, and Sumrall remarked, \"There's a lot of good drugs out there, huh?\" The team's focus, according to Sumrall, is to ignore the rankings and concentrate on self-improvement each week. This approach will be crucial in their upcoming game against Florida, who beat Auburn 44-39 in their SEC opener. Florida's Heisman Trophy momentum meter led by Gators running back Jaden Baugh, who rushed for 162 yards and three touchdowns on 26 carries, and quarterback Aaron Philo completed 15-of-22 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown pass. Ole Miss will face Florida in a game starting at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, September 26.",
