The Ole Miss Rebels returned to the win column on Saturday afternoon against the Oklahoma Sooners.
Ole Miss trailed at the intermission against the Sooners, but a stout defensive showing in the second half paired with touchdowns on the Rebels' first two drives of the third quarter helped salt the game away and give coach Lane Kiffin's team the rebound performance it needed after a loss to LSU and a bye week.1. The offense still looked off, but it did enough to get the win.
Overall, winning is not an easy thing in the SEC, but the Rebels still need to find their groove when their offense is on the field.The Rebels recorded nine sacks as a defense for a total of 60 yards, living in the Sooner backfield in the second half. Suntarine Perkins led the way with three sacks, followed by two apiece from JJ Pegues and Princely Umanmielen and one from both Jared Ivey and Akelo Stone.
If Ole Miss thought its trip to Fayetteville next week was going to be an easy one, today proved otherwise. The Hogs took down Mississippi State 58-25 in Starkville, and while State's defense has been porous this season, expect Arkansas to show up in full force next week.
