The 1991 Gator Bowl was a college football bowl game played on January 1, 1991. The Big Ten Conference co-champion Michigan Wolverines defeated the Ole Miss Rebels of the Southeastern Conference (SEC), 35–3. For sponsorship reasons, the game was officially known as the Mazda Gator Bowl.[2]
This game was the last SEC–Big Ten matchup in the Gator Bowl for twenty years; the bowl entered into an exclusive contract featuring those two conferences beginning with the 2011 Gator Bowl.
