The Gators open the season this Saturday with a true road game for the first time since 1987, when they lost to Miami in the Orange Bowl. UF will hope for a better outcome this time when it heads to Oxford, Miss., to take on an Ole Miss team debuting a new coach in Lane Kiffin.
The Rebels went 4-8 last season, resulting in the firing of coach Matt Luke after two seasons. They found a replacement in Kiffin who likes to score points, but Mississippi will have to do so against a talented Gators defense that returns a lot of talent from a season ago.
The game kicks off at noon on Saturday. You can watch it on ESPN or stream it from the ESPN app.
