No. 19 Ole Miss heads to Norman on Saturday looking to bounce back from a 42-7 loss to Georgia. The Rebels (6-3, 4-3 SEC) play at Oklahoma (5-4, 3-3 SEC) at 3:15 p.m. on SEC Network. The teams are meeting for the third straight season and the fourth time overall.
Oklahoma is 0-3 against the Rebels, with losses of 27-25 in the 1999 Independence Bowl, 26-14 in Oxford in 2024 and 34-26 in Norman last season. Trinidad Chambliss threw for 315 yards in last year's win, the most by a Rebel against Oklahoma.
The matchup to watch is in the air. Oklahoma allows 170.7 passing yards per game, the fewest in the SEC, while Ole Miss averages 271.4 passing yards per game, second in the league. Chambliss has thrown for 2,359 yards and 18 touchdowns this season, with seven rushing scores and an SEC-best 152 points responsible for.
Oklahoma beat Florida 23-7 last week. Head coach Brent Venables is not understating the assignment. "He's a fantastic player," Venables said of Chambliss.
