Here's your local news at a glance for Sunday, the 26th of October.
Good morning, Norman.
Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables said the Sooners lost 34–26 to Ole Miss on October 25th due to missed tackles and poor third- and fourth-down play—John Mateer threw for 223 yards while freshman Xavier Robinson ran 109 yards and scored two touchdowns, and the team will work to correct these issues ahead of its game at Tennessee next Saturday night.
The Sooners will play Tennessee next Saturday at 6:30 p.m. under the lights at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville on ABC.
OU lost to Ole Miss last Saturday and now both teams have 6 wins and 2 losses — a fact that sets up an important matchup.
Oklahoma fans trolled coach Lane Kiffin and Florida rumors by doing the Gator Chomp at the Sooners’ game against Ole Miss on Oct.
25 in Norman — fueling chatter about his future. Kiffin addressed the rumors before the game by saying winning games is a compliment to his team.
The Sooners played Ole Miss and lost 34—26 as their run game struggled early with just 16 yards on nine carries while tailback Xavier Robinson boosted momentum with a 65—yard touchdown run in the third quarter.
The offense later gained more yards but Ole Miss held a strong third—down performance that kept them ahead throughout the game.
