Week 9 Staff Predictions: Ole Miss at Oklahoma
Ole Miss is heading into a rain-soaked showdown against Oklahoma, and the Rebels are in desperate need of a bounce back victory in what could be a season-defining game for Lane Kiffin’s Rebels.
Both the Sooners and Rebels will be fighting to stay alive in the race to Atlanta, and there’s a good chance the winner punches a postseason ticket.
- Lane Kiffin is 1-0 against Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables after last season’s matchup in Oxford.
- Ole Miss leads the all-time series 2-0.
- Oklahoma enters with a potential Heisman contender at quarterback and the nation’s top-ranked defense.
- Ole Miss counters with its usual high-powered offense.
The final score is anyone’s guess, but the outcome could prove pivotal when December arrives.
