No. 8 Ole Miss snapped a nine-game road losing streak against ranked opponents on Saturday with a dramatic 34-26 win at No. 13 Oklahoma that keeps the Rebels in prime position to reach the College Football Playoff for the first time in program history.
Where do the Sooners go from here after losing to the Rebels? Here are 5 takeaways from the Oklahoma Sooners' performance.
NORMAN, Okla. — Trinidad Chambliss threw for 315 yards and a touchdown and Kewan Lacy ran for two scores to help No. 8 Mississippi defeat No. 13 Oklahoma 34-26 on Saturday. Ole Miss finished much differently than last week, when the Rebels led by nine in the third quarter before falling apart late in a 43-35 loss.
Oklahoma (6-2) managed 342 yards of total offense and 13 downs, well below its season averages after most of the Sooners' production came on a 76-yard catch-and-run from Isaiah Setagna in the first half and Xavier Robinson's 65-yard scamper in the third quarter.
It was another disappointing day for the Oklahoma Sooners in a high-profile matchup. This time against a top-10 team in their 34-26 loss to the Ole Miss Rebels. The Sooners fought their way back for a third-quarter lead but squandered opportunities in the fourth quarter to get a big win.
No. 8 Ole Miss (6-1 3-1 SEC) will return to action on Saturday for a Week 9 clash against the Oklahoma Sooners with the backend of the 2025 schedule arriving. After falling to the Georgia Bulldogs in Week 8, Lane Kiffin and Co. enter "must-win" territory down the stretch with the program looking to keep its College Football Playoff hopes alive.
