Ole Miss uses second half surge to hold off Oklahoma
10/26/2024, 2:46:09 PMThe Rebels outpaced the Sooners 218 to 94 in total yards in the second half and and outscored them 16-0 for the 26-14 win.
Defense was the MVP of the game, especially the second half, with a total of nine sacks on Jackson Arnold. Still not the complete turnaround Ole Miss (6-2, 2-2 SEC) needs but something to build on with a trip to Arkansas up next weekend.
Rebels threatening to begin the 4th Qtr
10/26/2024, 1:54:53 PMDefense has forced Oklahoma to punt on its first three drives of the half and the offense is looking to find the end zone for the third time in as many drives.
Dart had a wide open Prieksorn but was hit and the pass was errant, causing Davis to nail a 42-yard field goal. Rebels up 26-14
Ole Miss outgained the Sooners 201 yards to 3 in the third quarter.
Offense stretches the lead out
10/26/2024, 1:39:04 PMSuddenly the offense has strung together two straight positive drives and looked better. Dart is having a better time hitting his receivers this half. New dad Jordan Watkins nearly had a nice touchdown catch but was ruled down at the 1 for a 39 yard catch.
JJ Pegues muscled his way in for the touchdown and Ole Miss has a two-score lead, leading 23-14 late in the 3rd Qtr.
Dart also made one tremendous throw to Micah Davis that kept the drive going
Good Ole Miss offense returns
10/26/2024, 1:19:02 PMFirst drive of the half results in a touchdown with Dart finding Prieskorn the 24-yard touchdown pass on a beautiful play. Davis doinks the extra point, though. Rebels lead 16-14.
Sooners take the lead at the break
10/26/2024, 12:49:21 PMThe Oklahoma offense cashes in on that failed 4th down play and goes 92 yards for the touchdown score. Jackson Arnold is not playing like the quarterback of the previous five games, he evades two sacks and finds Jacob Jordan for the 9-yard score
Rebels kneel to end the half, trailing 14-10
Jekyll and Hyde Offense
10/26/2024, 12:32:35 PMThe offense can look so good and then so bad sometimes in the same drives or for sure alternating drives. After getting the ball down to inside the Sooners 10 they cannot get a 4th and inches, turning it back over.
Rebels defense has gotten better the last couple drives and will need to again as Oklahoma has the chance to double dip.
Caden Davis offers a leg
10/26/2024, 12:31:56 PMOle Miss had its most successful drive since the opening touchdown possession. Dart looked crisp with his passes to Cayden Lee and to Jordan Watkins. The drive stalls though and instead of going for it on 4th and 3 Kiffin opts for the 35-yard field goal try, which Davis converts
10-7 Rebels mid 2nd Qtr
Mixed bag of a first quarter
10/26/2024, 12:14:30 PMOle Miss looked fantastic its opening drive, which is always scripted, but has looked worse than the Oklahoma offense has since. Missed passes by Dart and not much of a running game since the Parrish touchdown run.
Rebels and Sooners are tied at 7 heading to the 2nd quarter
Penalties continue to hurt
10/26/2024, 11:38:12 AMOle Miss defense was getting off the two different times in the Sooners third drive of the game but penalties negated them, each time. Chris ‘Pooh’ Paul was flagged for a horse collar tackle on Arnold and Pegues was flagged for a face mask on the next play.
Arnold hits tight end Bauer Sharp for the 11-yard touchdown pass and this game is tied up at 7. Rebels have 3 penalties today, all personal fouls.
Defense bends, again
10/26/2024, 11:21:34 AMAfter hearing all week the Oklahoma offense is anemic and the numbers also backed it up, Jackson Arnold looked good and made some plays with his feet. A roughing the passer penalty on Ivey helped push the Sooners down the field
Venables opted to go for it on 4th and 1 at the 2 but Arnold’s pass falls incomplete in the end zone. Rebels hold, giving the offense a lengthy field for its second possession.
Ole Miss offense looks strong
10/26/2024, 11:09:03 AMOklahoma won the coin toss and deferred, giving the Rebels the option to shake the cobwebs off first. It works and there were some new wrinkles with back-to-back passes to Caden Prieskorn and Dae’Quan Wright to start the game.
Parrish cashes the drive in with a nine-run yard and Ole Miss is on the board first after a quick 6-play drive. 7-0 Rebels.
