Florida Gators Extend Dominance Over Ole Miss Rebels After 17-Year Streak
11 Nov
Summary
- Florida has beaten Ole Miss 4 straight times since 2008 upset
- Gators' offense exploded in 2020 and 2024 wins over Rebels
- Interim coach Gonzales looks to make it 5 straight for Florida in 2025

As the Florida Gators prepare to face the Ole Miss Rebels this week, they carry a 17-year reminder of their dominance in this series. The last time Ole Miss beat Florida was in 2008, a shocking upset that sparked Tim Tebow's famous "promise" and helped launch the Gators to a national title.
Since then, Florida has handled the Rebels four straight times, with each win coming under a different head coach. In 2015, the 25th-ranked Gators routed the 3rd-ranked Rebels 38-10, with Will Grier throwing four first-half touchdowns. Five years later, in 2020, Kyle Trask and Kyle Pitts led a 642-yard offensive explosion as the 5th-ranked Gators won 51-35 in a wild shootout.
Most recently, in 2024, freshman QB DJ Lagway and a resurgent Florida defense stunned the 9th-ranked Rebels 24-17 to secure bowl eligibility. Now, in 2025, interim coach Billy Gonzales looks to make it five straight wins for the Gators over Ole Miss.
