The No. 8 Ole Miss Rebels, led by quarterback Trinidad Chambliss, face the No. 13 Oklahoma Sooners, led by quarterback John Mateer, on Saturday, Oct. 25, 2025 at Memorial Stadium in Norman, Okla.

On a day when college football didn't have many marquee matchups on paper, the sport delivered with some wild moments, as always.

The Ole Miss Rebels kept their College Football Playoff hopes very much alive on Saturday with a hard-fought 34-26 victory over No. 13 Oklahoma. But once the final whistle blew, it wasn't just the scoreboard grabbing attention.

J'Koby Williams returned the opening kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown and took a short pass 26 yards for a score on Texas Tech's first play, jump-starting the No. 14 Red Raiders' 42-0 victory over Oklahoma State.

Mateer had surgery on the throwing hand during Oklahoma’s off week, then sat out the win over Kent State. He returned for the showdown against Texas on Oct. 11, but he had the worst game of his career and threw three interceptions in a loss. He limited mistakes in a win against South Carolina last week as the running game carried the load.

No. 8 Ole Miss improved to 7-1 and doesn't have a ranked team left on its schedule after wining 34-26 at No. 13 Oklahoma on Saturday.
