Ole Miss vs Oklahoma Game Recap:

 

Lane Kiffin's Rebels improve to 7-1 and 4-1 in conference. Venables' Sooners drop a close, hard fought game. The Sooners currently sit at 6-2 and 2-2 in the SEC. Ole Miss led for most of this game. Oklahoma would hold a lead in this game only twice. Early when it was 3-0 Oklahoma. Then again late in the 3rd quarter when it was 26-25, but they would not hold that lead for long. A special teams fumble recovery in the 4th quarter all but sealed the Ole Miss win. 

 

Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss added to his Heisman campaign throwing for 314 yards, one touchdown pass as well as over 50 yards on the ground. Oklahoma QB John Mateer was solid with 223 passing yards and one touchdown, but had some inaccurate passes in important moments. He does not seem to be completely 100% from his previous hand injury, but played well under the circumstances.

 

The running backs played an important role in this game. 79 yards and two touchdowns for Rebels back Kewan Lacy. While, Oklahoma needed to get more from the rushing attack and did. Xavier Robinson finished the game with 109 yards and two touchdowns. Impressively, Oklahoma amassed 136 yards rushing on only 15 carries from Robinson and Tory Blaylock. Both teams also had a hundred yard receiver. Winston Watkins from Ole Miss (4 rec, 110 yards) and Isaiah Sategna III from Oklahoma (9 rec, 109 yards and 2 touchdowns). 

 

Both teams now face very different immediate futures. Ole Miss controls their own destiny with a favorable remaining schedule, while Oklahoma does not. Currently, no one in the top seven of the SEC standings has two losses. Oklahoma now does. Ole Miss plays South Carolina, The Citadel, Florida, and Mississippi State the rest of the way. None of those remaining team are ranked or expect to be ranked throughout the remainder of the season. Oklahoma on the other hand has the most difficult remaining schedule of anyone in the SEC, maybe the country. The Sooner still have to face No. 17 Tennessee, No. 4 Alabama, No. 15 Missouri and No. 20 LSU. 

 

The current No. 13 Oklahoma Sooners need to run the table if they hope to be a college football playoff team or even finish in the top 5 of the SEC. Ole Miss simply needs to take care of business against their remaining four games. All of which will be home games for Ole Miss.

Ole Miss vs Oklahoma Game Preview:

No. 8 Ole Miss at No. 13 Oklahoma is the game of the week. This week only has three games that puts a ranked team against another ranked team. This game also has significant implications for the SEC standings and the upcoming college football playoff. Both Ole Miss and Oklahoma have the same overall record at 6-1, and both are only separated by two spots in the conference standings.

Neither team has much room to survive a loss at this point in the season, specifically pertaining to the college football playoff. While Ole Miss has a rather favorable remaining schedule, Oklahoma is a case study for what it would look like if Power 4 teams only played other Power 4 teams.

By season’s end, Ole Miss will have faced three ranked teams. LSU, Georgia and the Oklahoma Sooners this afternoon. Oklahoma on the other hand, will face six. Four of which all coming in a row. Starting with today, Oklahoma is set to face Ole Miss, Tennessee, Alabama and Missouri. All four of which are ranked in the top 15. Oklahoma cannot afford to more than one loss over the next four.

Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer has been the most consistent and threatening rusher on the Sooners team as of late. Oklahoma needs to be more of a threat running the ball against Ole Miss than they have been to this point. Against South Carolina, Oklahoma ran the ball relatively well. 153 rushing yards, 5 explosive runs. They will need more of that against the Rebels.

Trinidad Chambliss, a rising Heisman candidate, could present real problems for Oklahoma. Against Georgia, Chambliss threw for 263 yards, but had two rushing tds and a respectable yards per carry average. The counter to Chambliss could be the Sooners pass rush. Oklahoma has a 47% pressure rate, the most of any team in the Power 4. Oklahoma blitzes at the 4th highest rate among all Power 4 teams. The issue with that is Chambliss performs better when pressured. Oklahoma will need to maintain gap discipline if they hope to keep Chambliss in check on the ground.

If Oklahoma can keep Chambliss in the pocket, this could turn into a very different game for Oklahoma. Ole Miss does surprisingly well when Chambliss can roll out and make plays on the outside of the pocket. This game could come down to how free Chambliss is permitted to play vs can Oklahoma be a threat in the running game. If both of those factors play out, expect a lower scoring, control the clock, and try to win with defense, sort of game.

The QBs will be a factor. Can Mateer return to his pre-injured hand form? Or can Chambliss handle the Oklahoma pressure and be a dual threat in this game? If neither of those is true, this game could come down to which defense is more opportunistic and which running game is more dominant.
