Eighth place in the ranking Ole Miss Rebels faced the difficult task of traveling to Norman to face No. 13 Oklahoma.
Ole Miss actually blew a 12-point lead in the third quarter, but they close the sooners captured a 34–26 road win in the fourth quarter.
After the game, ESPN made an attempt to interview Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin on the field, but he still had business to take care of.

Kiffin could be heard talking on the loud microphone to Oklahoma lineman David Stone.
“You’re a little calmer now than before.” Kiffin said.
Molly McGrath was visibly taken aback and asked Kiffin if he had the last word.
“This guy was yelling at me during the game, like, this is five times how good they are and we can’t score on them,” Kiffin said.
Stone looked like he was trying to make peace, but Kiffin wasn't having it.

The Rebels scored to lead 25-13 with 5:57 left in the third quarter. However, the Sooners responded immediately with a 65-yard touchdown run by Xavier Robinson, and after forcing a three-and-out, the Sooners found the end zone again and took a 26-25 lead late in the third.
The Rebels went on an 11-play drive that ended with an 8-yard touchdown pass from Trinidad Chambliss Trace Brookler.
With just over seven minutes left, the Sooners were poised to get the ball back, but Isaiah Sateña III lost a fumble on a punt return and the Rebels took advantage with a field goal to take an 8-point lead with 4:09 remaining.
The Sooners were unable to convert on fourth-and-5 from the Ole Miss 30 and, despite having to force another punt, were unable to pull off a miracle on their top drive.
