Southeastern Conference play has officially hit Ben Hill Griffin Stadium for the 2026 season.
No. 21 Florida faces No. 4 Ole Miss on Saturday for the first ranked matchup in The Swamp since 2022. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. Follow along for live updates.
WARM-UPS:
Singleton is listed as a starter, so he should be in action this afternoon.
Just under an hour before kickoff, all of Florida and some of Ole Miss are on the field. The Gators are running three separate drills across position groups.
Singleton is warming up, a good sign for Florida, and Kewan Lacy has officially been ruled out for Ole Miss.
PREGAME: Eric Singleton Jr. is the only Florida player whose status is still up in the air ahead of the matchup. He's sat out the last two games after leaving the Gators' season opener with an ankle injury.
It's a perfect game day in Gainesville. Not a cloud in the sky and 81 degrees an hour before kickoff. It's expected to remain about the same throughout the game.
