NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The eighth-seeded Ole Miss Rebels faced a tough task as they traveled to Norman to face #13 Oklahoma.
Ole Miss actually squandered a 12-point lead in the third quarter, but they shut out the Sooners in the fourth quarter and came away with a 34-26 road victory.
After the game, ESPN attempted to interview Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin on the field, but he still had some business to take care of.

Kiffin was heard speaking to Oklahoma offensive lineman David Stone on the hot mic.
“You’re a little quieter now than before.” Kiffin said.
Molly McGrath was clearly surprised and asked Kiffin if he had the last word.
“This guy yelled at me five times during the game about how great they were and we couldn’t score on them,” Kiffin said.
Stone appeared to be trying to make peace, but Kiffin was having none of it.

The Rebels scored and took a 25-13 lead with 5:57 left in the third quarter. But the Sooners responded with a 65-yard field goal by Xavier Robinson and after forcing a three-and-out, the Sooners regained the end zone late in the third quarter to take a 26-25 lead.
The Rebels went on an 11-play drive that ended with an 8-yard touchdown pass from Trinidad Chambliss to Trace Bruckler.
With just over seven minutes to go, the Sooners were ready to take the ball back, but Isaiah Sategna III fumbled on the punt return and the Rebels capitalized on the field goal to take an 8-point lead with 4:09 left.
The Sooners were unable to convert a fourth-and-5 from the Ole Miss 30, and although they forced another punt, they were unable to pull off the miracle on their final drive.
