We’ve heard it all week. Ole Miss is an underdog at Florida and set for the biggest emotional let down game ever.
Not going to act like that isn’t a strong possibility but there is another way this game could be a huge motivator for the Ole Miss locker room. Next week is a bye week, and a win today sets up a real run for the College Football Playoff.
Win against Florida, and you’re sitting 4-0 with a week off where another batch of teams take its first loss. You’re in the top 5 going into the month of October with six of the eight remaining games likely you’re the favorite. We’re talking another 10-win season potentially in the balance.
So the mental strength of this team and staff will be on display against Florida. Is it going to limp into the bye week and prove LSU was its “Super Bowl” or does it power through for 60 minutes and begin cementing itself as a true CFP contender?
Tee it up, we’re about to find out.
