Ole Miss stumbles in their first real challenge on the road. {Texas} wins by running the ball. Chambliss looks sleepy and throws a few picks. 33-27

[u/kokohobo → u/steameamW]

I too pretend the Florida game never happened.

[u/steameamW → u/kokohobo]

Yeah true. I just think Texas is better than Florida.

[u/AwareEconomics4177 → u/steameamW]

I mean Florida did just beat Texas on the road.
