Overview
- Ole Miss beat Oklahoma 34-26 on Saturday in Norman after rallying in the second half.
- Brent Venables said Sunday he believed the Sooners were the better team, adding that Ole Miss out-executed them.
- Lane Kiffin called that view a “hot take” on Monday and disputed it using game metrics.
- Kiffin cited 431 total yards, a 21–14 edge in first downs, 87 offensive plays, one Oklahoma sack, and zero forced turnovers.
- He also referenced past title-game meetings against Venables’ teams and noted the Rebels are 7-1 hosting South Carolina next, while the 6-2 Sooners visit No. 14 Tennessee.
