No. 19 Ole Miss heads to Norman on Saturday with a chance to steady itself after a rough week, but the Rebels won’t be walking into an easy spot. Oklahoma has already shown it can punch above its record, and the Sooners will be hunting for another upset at Memorial Stadium.
The matchup kicks off Saturday, Nov. 14th at 3:15 p.m. CT in Norman, Oklahoma, with SEC Network carrying the broadcast.
Taylor Zarzour will handle play-by-play, Matt Stinchcomb will be on the analyst chair, and Michella Chester will report from the sideline. Ole Miss Radio Network will also have the game.
This one comes at a key moment for the Rebels, who dropped 42-7 to Georgia last week and took a major hit in the College Football Playoff Rankings. Ole Miss enters at 6-3 overall and 4-3 in SEC play, while Oklahoma is 5-4 and 3-3 in the league.
The Rebels also have some real injury concerns to manage. Kewan Lacy is out for the season, and offensive lineman Patrick Kutas is also unavailable.
Linebacker Keaton Thomas and defensive back Edwin Joseph are out as well, while star defensive lineman Kam Franklin remains questionable. That leaves Ole Miss dealing with four starters out and possibly five.
Oklahoma’s injury list is lighter, though not empty. The Sooners are without linebacker Taylor Heim, while wide receiver Trell Harris and linebackers Cole Sullivan and James Nesta are questionable.
Even with the uneven season, Oklahoma has proven it can still land a heavy shot. The Sooners rolled past No.
24 Florida 23-7 on the road recently, and they also stunned then-No. 1 Texas 27-24 a few weeks ago.
That’s the kind of résumé that makes them dangerous no matter what the record says.
Ole Miss has had the upper hand in this series, though. Last season, the Rebels escaped with a 34-26 win in Oxford to stay in the Top 10, and the overall history is clean for Ole Miss at 3-0, with wins in 2024, 2025, and 1999.
For the Rebels, the task is straightforward: look nothing like the team that got flattened by Georgia. Without Lacy, moving the ball won’t come easy, but Ole Miss has shown it can operate smoothly when things are clicking. Saturday gives the Rebels a chance to reset and close the season with something stronger starting in Norman.

Ole Miss Just Lost A Huge Piece Of Its Playoff Push
Ole Miss has been navigating its stretch run without one of the most important pieces of its offense, and now the Rebels know they will have to finish the season without Kewan Lacy. The running back will not return after injuring his left shoulder against LSU and then aggravating it again later against Texas, a setback that has already kept him out of the lineup for subsequent games.
Lacys absence leaves a real void in a backfield that has leaned on him for production and stability, especially with the stakes rising in the playoff chase. In his place, Ole Miss has turned to junior running back Makhi Frazier, but losing a player with Lacys college rsum changes the feel of the offense at exactly the wrong time. [Read more 🡒]
Ole Miss Faces A Major O-Line Test At Oklahoma
Ole Miss is heading into its matchup at Oklahoma with a little extra uncertainty up front, as Troy Everett is expected to step in at guard because of an injury to Patrick Kutas. It will be Everetts first start of the season, a notable development for an offensive line that has to hold up in a tough road environment and keep the Rebels on schedule.
The setting only adds to the challenge, with Ole Miss returning to Oklahomas stadium for the second straight season. For a line already adjusting to a new starter, the timing matters, and how well Everett settles in could shape the Rebels ability to handle the Sooners front and protect the rest of the offense from the start.

Ole Miss Is Caught In The CFP Fight Fans Knew Was Coming
The latest College Football Playoff rankings have stirred up the kind of debate Ole Miss fans know all too well, with the SEC again at the center of the conversation. Indiana coach Curt Cignetti took to social media with a cryptic post and a string of emojis after the Hoosiers fell from No. 4 to No. 9 without playing, and the reaction quickly spread beyond Bloomington as other Big Ten voices joined in to question the committees logic.
Bret Bielema and Kirk Ferentz also voiced frustration with what they see as a system that continues to lean toward SEC teams, while CFP chairman Hunter Yurachek offered the committees explanation for Alabamas placement. For Ole Miss, the noise is familiar, because every ranking shuffle seems to sharpen the same old argument about who gets the benefit of the doubt when the playoff picture starts to tighten.
