Billy Napier is pleased with his team’s turnaround but far from satisfied to merely scratch his first winning season at UF.

The Rebels nearly found points on its second drive with a eight-play, 69-yard drive that found itself on the Gators' 11-yard line for a fourth-and-one. Rather than kick the field goal, Ole Miss elected to use its short-yardage package with defensive tackle JJ Pegues, who has six rushing touchdowns on the season.

The Florida Gators took down the No. 9 Ole Miss Rebels 24-17 on Saturday at Florida Field. That’s four consecutive home wins for the Gators (6-5, 4-4 SEC), including back-to-back victories against ranked opponents that qualified them for a bowl game.
