It’s been a long week for Florida. Will Muschamp agreed to step down as head coach after the team’s remaining two games. Harris, who’s led Florida to a 2-1 record as a starter, will lead a team looking to win for its coach against an inferior opponent.

Mike Davis leads the Gamecocks with 875 rushing yards. The junior should continue his success against South Alabama on Saturday.

Chubb has emerged as Georgia’s top running back in recent weeks. The true freshman will continue to see the majority of carries from Georgia’s backfield after Todd Gurley’s season-ending injury
3:30 p.m. No. 8 Ole Miss at Arkansas, CBS
Vince Sanders, WR, Ole Miss

7:30 p.m. Vanderbilt at No. 4 Mississippi State, SEC NETWORK
Dak Prescott, QB, Mississippi State
Prescott had a disappointing performance in last week’s loss to No. 1 Alabama. The former Heisman favorite threw three interceptions in his team’s first loss of 2014. Prescott looks to bounce back against a struggling Vanderbilt team that has been dominated by SEC offenses.
