NORMAN — Behind interim offensive coordinator Jason Witten, “Oklahoma is looking to win consecutive games for the first time this season,” according to The Oklahoman.
The “Sooners host No. 19 Ole Miss at 3:15 p.m. Saturday at Gaylord Family — Oklahoma Memorial Stadium,” reported The Oklahoman.
This weekend’s matchup marks the third consecutive season that the two collegiate football programs will meet on the gridiron.
Oklahoma’s offense appeared “much more functional this past weekend under Witten in its win over Florida,” the outlets reported.
During that recent victory, the Sooners moved the football methodically and averaged a season-high 8.3 plays per offensive drive.
Ole Miss stands as the lone Southeastern Conference program that Oklahoma has played at least three times without securing a victory.
The Sooners currently hold an 0-3 record against the Rebels, having suffered defeats in the 1999 Independence Bowl, during a 2024 game in Oxford, and last season in Norman.
Prior to the current campaign, the highest number of alternating wins and losses to start a season for the university was six games back in 1968.
As the team prepares to face the Rebels, observers continue to evaluate leadership structures, including discussions involving “coach Brent Venables, Roger Denny, and Joseph Harroz,” per local reports.
Fans and analysts alike are now watching to see if Oklahoma can finally carry vital momentum into the following week of the season.
