Ole Miss defeated Oklahoma 34–26 in a one-score game. Ole Miss covered by 13.5; Game went Over by 7.5. The market closed at Oklahoma -5.5 and the Blue Chip model made it Oklahoma -1.2 - a gap of 4.3 points toward Ole Miss, of which 3.5 points were beyond the model's measured factors. That was an information gap - the market pricing something the model does not carry - rather than a measured edge.
Ole Miss showed mental toughness by bouncing back from a late collapse against Georgia, closing out a tight game against Oklahoma without panicking, which bodes well for handling pressure in future games.
The Rebels amassed 431 yards against Oklahoma's nation-leading total defense, with QB Chambliss throwing for 315 yards and rushing for 53, proving their offense can succeed against elite units.
Lacy rushed for 78 yards and two touchdowns, extending his streak of scoring in all but one game this season, providing a reliable ground game that will be key against South Carolina.
Ole Miss settled for four field goals instead of touchdowns, nearly costing them the game; improving red zone conversion will be critical to avoid close finishes against upcoming opponents.
A forced fumble by Trace Bruckler in the fourth quarter halted Oklahoma's momentum and set up a field goal, highlighting the defense's ability to make game-changing plays in crunch time.
