Ole Miss goes into Norman on a messy day but that didn't bother Trinidad Chambliss. The Rebels emerging star QB threw for 315 yards and a TD in sloppy wet conditions. Ole Miss piled up 431 yards on what was assumed to be a strong OU defense. The Rebels defense held Mateer in check and specifically neutralized his ability to run.
The Sooners were not efficient on offense relying on a few big plays for most of their scoring. The Rebels on the other hand were very efficient moving the ball at will for most of the game through the air, spreading the ball around to 8 different receivers, and got just enough on the ground to keep the Sooners defense honest.
Kewan Lacy is a legitimate force at running back getting 78 tough yards and 2TDs.
The Rebels are in control of their own destiny and should be favored in all of their remaining games. The SEC championship game is still in reach as well as the playoffs.
With two conference losses the Sooners are somewhat on the outside looking in, however the opportunity to get back into both SEC title contention and the playoffs may still be within their reach given the remaining teams on their schedule include Bama, Tenn, Mizzou and LSU. They will definitely need help, and they have to win out for any chance at the playoffs.
