1 Player in SEC history has had at least 200 rushing yards and 100 receiving yards in the same game – Missouri RB Cody Schrader, who accomplished the feat in a 36-7 victory over Tennessee last week. Schrader is the 10th NCAA FBS player to reach those milestones in the same game. Schrader ran for 205 yards and one TD on 35 carries and caught five passes for 116 yards. Schrader is the first Missouri player with at least 100 rushing yards and 100 receiving yards in the same game.

4 Consecutive Florida games have included at least 30 points for the Gators’ opponent, tied for the longest such streak in school history. In its past four games, Florida defeated South Carolina 41-39 on Oct. 14 and lost to Georgia 43-20 on Oct. 28, Arkansas 39-36 on Nov. 4 and LSU 52-35 on Nov. 11. In 2021, Florida lost to LSU 49-42, Georgia 34-7 and South Carolina 40-17 before beating Samford 70-52 in consecutive games. Florida is the fourth SEC team with a streak of at least four games in which its opponents have scored 39 or more points. Vanderbilt in 1990 and Auburn in 2022 had four consecutive games in which they yielded at least 39 points. The only longer such streak lasted five games by Arkansas in 2019, when the Razorbacks lost to Auburn 51-10, Alabama 48-7, Mississippi State 54-24, Western Kentucky 45-19 and LSU 56-20 in consecutive games.

6 Victories for Florida and 6 victories for Missouri in the Gators-Tigers series. This is the first meeting for which Missouri is ranked and Florida is not since their first matchup – a 20-18 victory for the Tigers in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1, 1966. That was the only meeting between the programs before Missouri joined the SEC in 2012.

6 Consecutive games with a sack for Missouri DE Darius Robinson.

10 Consecutive games with a TD pass for Florida QB Graham Mertz. Mertz has 18 TD passes this season with at least one in every game in 2023.

Bud Sasser in 2014 and J’Mon Moore in 2016 and 2017 have recorded 1,000 receiving yards in a season since Missouri joined the SEC in 2012.
