The eighth-ranked Ole Miss Rebels faced a tough task traveling to Norman to face No. 13 Oklahoma.
Ole Miss actually squandered a 12-point lead in the third quarter, but they shut out the Sooners in the fourth quarter to come away with a 34-26 victory on the road.
After the game, ESPN attempted an on-field interview with Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin, but he still had some business to take care of.
Score, the Rebels did, as they led 25-13 with 5:57 to go in the third quarter. However, the Sooners answered right back with a 65-yard touchdown run by Xavier Robinson, and after forcing a three-and-out, the Sooners found the end zone again to lead 26-25, late in the third.
The Rebels went on an 11-play drive that ended with an 8-yard touchdown pass from Trinidad Chambliss to Trace Bruckler.
With just over seven minutes to go, the Sooners were set to get the ball back, but Isaiah Sategna III lost a fumble on his punt return, and the Rebels took advantage with a field goal to make it an 8-point lead with 4:09 remaining.
The Sooners could not convert a fourth-and-5 from the Ole Miss 30 and, despite forcing another punt, were unable to pull off the miracle on their final drive.
Ole Miss improved to 7-1 (4-1), while Oklahoma fell to 6-2 (2-2). Chambliss threw for 315 yards and ran for another 53.
