We'll see.
I think we have an elite defense and the results on the field back that up.
OU's Offensive Outlook for Ole Miss: Mateer (OU's QB) is recovering from surgery on his throwing hand. Two weeks ago he wasn't able to practice the week before Texas and maybe we should have made him sit that game out. Saturday, he was probably 80% for the South Carolina game and we still played well enough to easily beat the Gamecocks on the road even though most of Mateer's running threat was missing (still recovering from hand surgery). I think Mateer will have his full running ability back by Ole Miss, plus our OL is *finally* starting to gel. South Carolina has a better defense than Ole Miss this year -- we should be able to put some points on the board.
OU's Defensive Outlook for Ole Miss: Last year, Ole Miss averaged 38.6 points per game. We're better a better defense this year, we have a MUCH better offense at avoiding three-and-outs and turnovers (which obviously is a big help to the defense), and we'll be playing at home. We should keep Ole Miss below their average points per game (37.4) assuming we don't have a spate of turnovers. They got 26 points against us last year despite having a turnover advantage, plus we had absolutely zero offense to complement the defense.
