No. 8 Ole Miss Defeats No. 13 Oklahoma 34-26 in Key SEC Clash

The No. 8 Ole Miss Rebels defeated the No. 13 Oklahoma Sooners 34-26 in a tightly contested game, overcoming a mid-game deficit to secure the win. Ole Miss controlled the clock and converted more third and fourth downs, with quarterback Trinidad Chambliss throwing for 315 yards and a touchdown while also rushing for 53 yards, orchestrating key drives late in the game. Oklahoma's Xavier Robinson rushed for a career-high 109 yards and two touchdowns, briefly giving the Sooners a lead in the third quarter, but costly mistakes, including a crucial punt fumble by Isiah Sategna, hindered their comeback efforts. Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer completed 17 of 31 passes for 223 yards but struggled to regain form after recent hand surgery, and the team failed to capitalize on critical opportunities. Ole Miss's victory marks Lane Kiffin's first road win over a ranked SEC opponent, improving their College Football Playoff prospects with a favorable remaining schedule. Oklahoma now faces a tough upcoming slate, including games against ranked Tennessee, Alabama, Missouri, and LSU, as they seek to recover from this loss.
