Trinidad Chambliss threw for 315 yards and a touchdown and Kewan Lacy ran for 78 yards and two touchdowns to lead No. 8 Ole Miss to a 34-26 win over No. 13 Oklahoma on Saturday in Norman, Okla.
The Rebels (7-1, 4-1 Southeastern Conference) let a 12-point halftime lead slip away in the second half before bouncing back to regain control.
After Oklahoma took a 26-25 lead late in the third quarter, Chambliss directed an 11-play, 75-yard touchdown drive capped by his 8-yard touchdown pass to Trace Bruckler with 11:33 remaining.
The Sooners had a chance late, holding the Rebels to a field goal after a fumbled punt return gave the Rebels a short field.
Oklahoma drove to the Ole Miss 30 but couldn't get any closer, as John Mateer threw consecutive incomplete passes on third and fourth downs after the two-minute timeout to give the ball back to the Rebels.
The Sooners' defense forced a punt, getting the ball back with 1:05 remaining.
Oklahoma managed two first downs to move into Ole Miss territory, but Mateer's last-second heave was batted down near the goal line to end the game.
The Rebels led 25-13 with less than six minutes remaining in the third before the Sooners came alive.
Oklahoma (6-2, 2-2) had just 12 rushing yards against an Ole Miss defense that had struggled to defend the run, before Xavier Robinson's 65-yard touchdown put the Sooners back in the game.
After Oklahoma's defense forced a quick three-and-out, the Sooners kept the offense moving on the ground.
On third-and-7, Robinson broke free for a 9-yard touchdown to put Oklahoma ahead for the first time.
The lead, though, was short-lived, as Chambliss directed what proved to be the game-winning drive, highlighted by a 40-yard completion to Winston Watkins and a 10-yard run on third-and-8 by Chambliss a few plays later to set up the go-ahead touchdown.
Mateer finished 17-of-31 passing for 223 yards and a touchdown.
Robinson ran for 109 yards and two touchdowns on nine carries.
Watkins had four catches for 111 yards for the Rebels.
