The Sooners (4-3, 1-3 SEC) continue to slug through a challenging inaugural campaign in the SEC. They were pummeled by South Carolina 35-9 last week, prompting changes within the program.

Scoring 12 points in its last two games, Oklahoma’s offense is a shell of its past. Seth Littrell was relieved of his play-calling duties for tight end coach Joe Jon Finley. Kevin Johns was also promoted to co-offensive coordinator.

Jackson Arnold returns as QB1 after being benched earlier this season. The sophomore has thrown for 763 yards with eight touchdowns and three interceptions. Arnold and freshman quarterback Michael Hawkins were sacked a combined nine times against the Gamecocks.

Arnold’s receiving core is banged up, making an uphill climb even steeper. Junior receiver Deion Burks, who has 21 receptions for 201 yards and three touchdowns, is listed as questionable. Burks has not played since the Tennessee game.

Junior tight end Bauer Sharp has tallied 24 receptions for 189 yards and one touchdown.

The Sooners offensive line continues to struggle. They have allowed the second-most sacks in the nation. That unit also isn’t helping their ground game, which is averaging 112.7 yards per game. Junior running back Jovantae Barnes has notched 88 carries for 307 yards and two touchdowns.

The Sooners are 128th in the nation in third down conversion percentage (27.5%).

Oklahoma‘s defense is the only thing keeping it from spiraling into the abyss. It is considered one of the best in the SEC, averaging 21.3 points per game and 325.9 yards per contest. The glaring offensive struggles have masked the stout unit’s performance. They are fourth in the nation in sacks and sixth in tackles for loss.

Senior linebacker Danny Stutsman has racked up 29 solo tackles. Junior defensive lineman R Mason Thomas is a sack machine with six sacks and one forced fumble. Senior defensive back Billy Bowman Jr. has two interceptions and 18 solo tackles.

If the game goes off the rails once again, head coach Brent Venables’ seat could be heating up. Oklahoma closes out the season against Missouri, Alabama and LSU.

The Rebels (5-2, 2-1) have hit some bumps in the road, but remain strong as they continue to plow through a brutal conference slate. There only two losses are both by three points.

Ole Miss is coming off a bye week, but suffered an overtime loss to LSU the week prior. A third loss would severely damage their College Football Playoff hopes.

The Rebels’ high-powered offense is steered by senior quarterback Jaxson Dart, who has tallied 2,384 yards with 14 touchdowns and three interceptions.

Ole Miss has a reputation of jumping teams early. They lead the nation in average first quarter point differential (+13.3).

The rushing attack has put up an average of 200.6 yards per game. Senior running back Henry Parrish Jr. leads the way with 105 carries for 612 yards and nine touchdowns.

They have also unveiled a unique weapon in senior defensive lineman J.J. Pegues, who has amassed four rushing touchdowns. He also has 11 solo tackles and half a sack.

The Rebels are allowing the second least points per game (10.6) in the FBS and 289.4 yards per contest. They are second in the nation in tackles for loss and tied for seventh in sacks.

Senior edge rusher Princely Umanmielen could return after missing the last two games. He has tallied 3.5 sacks on the season.

Sophomore linebacker TJ Dottery and junior linebacker Chris Paul Jr. have combined for 89 tackles and 3.5 sacks. Senior defensive end Jared Ivey has notched five sacks. Senior cornerback Trey Amos lurks in the secondary with three interceptions and 26 solo tackles.

This is a test for the Ole Miss defense to not have a letdown. The offense can cruise out early, but it’s up to that defense to keep the separation.

Ole Miss is 0-2 when allowing 20 or more points and 5-0 when allowing fewer than 20 points. Oklahoma has scored 20 points once this season against a Power Four team.

It’s the second meeting all time between the two programs. The only other meeting came in the 1999 Independence Bowl where Ole Miss claimed a 27-25 victory.
