No. 8 Ole Miss will be looking to get back on track Saturday as the Rebels travel to face No. 13 Oklahoma following their first loss of the season at Georgia last week. Another road game against a top-15 league foe marks a brutal back-to-back stretch for coach Lane Kiffin’s squad, which otherwise has one of the SEC’s more manageable schedules. Getting past Oklahoma will require dealing with the SEC’s most statistically dominant defense.
The Sooners put their ruthlessness on display last week in a 26-7 win at South Carolina but will face a tougher challenge this week. Per usual, the Ole Miss offense brings explosive capability with Division II transfer Trinidad Chambliss leading the way at quarterback. The Sooners counter with a transfer QB of their own in John Mateer, who has recovered from in-season hand surgery and is leading OU into a brutal finishing stretch. This marks the first of five straight games against top-20 SEC competition to close the season for Oklahoma, which faces SEC road games against No. 17 Tennessee and No. 4 Alabama next.
