Tre Harris catches 43-yard deep ball for TD in 1st game back for Ole Miss

Tre Harris did not need long to make an impact in his first game back from injury.

Harris entered Saturday as the leading wide receiver in the SEC with 987 yards despite missing the past 3 games for the Rebels. The total was fifth nationally entering Week 13.

Harris made his impact felt in the 1st half Saturday, scoring a 43-yard touchdown to tie things up with upset-minded Florida.

Harris was on the receiving end of a beautifully thrown deep ball from Jaxson Dart. Harris got behind the Gator secondary and had no trouble hauling it in for 6 points.
