Florida players have a lot to celebrate after taking down No. 9 Ole Miss, giving the Gators wins over ranked opponents in back-to-back weeks to improve to 6-5, securing bowl eligibility.
Sideline props and celebrations have become increasingly popular in recent college football seasons. As many fans have noticed, Ole Miss likes to keep a portable basketball hoop on the sidelines. The Rebels put the opposing team’s logo on the hoop, and players get the chance to dunk after making a big play in the game.
UF student journalist Talia Baia was on the field after the game when a group of Gator players found their way to the hoop. The Gators decided to get some dunks in before Ole Miss equipment staff took the hoop off the field.
