Sooners Wire Staff predictions for Oklahoma vs. Ole Miss
Ole Miss is reeling after last week’s loss to Georgia, and Brent Venables typically doesn’t have his team as on point when the opponent is more desperate and hungry than the Sooners are.
Key points
- Jackson, Contributor Ole Miss Responds This season, Oklahoma has typically followed up an encouraging step forward with a discouraging step back, ever since the Texas game.
- If OU recaptures some of the magic of last November, when the Sooners played consistent football, they can put an end to Ole Miss’ teetering playoff hopes.
- The Oklahoma Sooners (5-4, 3-3 SEC) and the Ole Miss Rebels (6-3, 4-3 SEC) meet for the third straight season and the second consecutive season in Norman.
Ole Miss 24, Oklahoma 17 Jaron Spor, Contributor Offense Does it Again The Oklahoma offense took a positive step in the right direction last week with their road win over Florida.
Ole Miss allows 394.7 yards per game, which is 15th in the SEC and 104th in the nation.

- Jacob Unruh, deputy sports editor Ole Miss 28, OU 27 CHAMBLISS OF SECRETS The Sooners' offense continues to make strides under Jason Witten but it's not enough to overcome Trinidad Chambliss' dynamic playmaking ability.
- With everyone theoretically healthy, one of the advantages Oklahoma has is that Ole Miss QB Trinidad Chambliss has become turnover-prone, throwing nine interceptions this season, while OU’s defense does well at forcing those turnovers, coming in at No.

- Sooners Defense Leads to Win It’ll be a battle between two defense-minded coaches, and the Sooners are still riding high with Interim offensive coordinator Jason Witten at the helm, while Ole Miss’ offense is sputtering thanks to key injuries to its offensive line, star running back, and possibly the quarterback.
