The Oklahoma Sooners will take on the Ole Miss Rebels on Saturday in Oxford, Mississippi. It is the first time the Sooners have played a football game in Mississippi and only the second time they have played the Rebels.

The two programs have not lived up to expectations this season. Ole Miss was considered an SEC title contender, but the losses to Kentucky and LSU have put their conference title hopes on life support. They are still very much in contention for a spot in the College Football Playoff in 2024, but they can’t afford another loss given their weak non-conference schedule.

The Sooners are an even bigger disappointment, sitting at 4-3 this season and just 1-3 in SEC play. What’s more concerning is that during SEC play, the offense is averaging just 11.75 points per game in their four contests. The defense has played well and has improved significantly from last year’s defense. But the defense can’t do everything. Oklahoma needs Jackson Arnold and the Sooners’ offense to carry their share of the load.

Oklahoma Sooners injury report:

Deion Burks update

Brent Venables said Deion Burks was in attendance daily when he met with the media on Tuesday. However, he had a setback in practice that left him questionable for Week 9 against Ole Miss.

Gavin Sawchuk update

Running back Gavin Sawchuk suffered a hamstring injury that kept him out of last week’s loss to South Carolina. It’s unlikely he’ll be available this week either.

Ole Miss Rebels injury report:

Tre Harris update

The SEC’s leading receiver is still questionable after Thursday’s injury report. If he isn’t available, it would make the Sooners’ defensive job a little easier.

Oklahoma vs. Ole Miss prediction, pick

The Oklahoma Sooners hit the road to take on one of the best defenses in the country: the Ole Miss Rebels. While the Sooners may not be able to score, the defense should be able to keep it close. Ole Miss is just 1-2 in SEC play this season, and both losses were one-score games.

Prediction: 20-13
