Friday Ole Miss vs. Texas Injury Report: Brycen Sanders Upgraded
Fri., Oct. 23 · last 24 hours. Good news on the eve of kickoff: center Brycen Sanders was upgraded from questionable to probable, though left tackle Terez Davis stays questionable. Texas, meanwhile, ruled out running back Hollywood Smothers and receiver Kaliq Lockett — a thinned skill group for a Longhorn offense already sputtering. (The Rebel Walk)
Football vs. Texas: What To Watch For
Fri., Oct. 23 · last 24 hours. The school’s game-week primer lays out the Rebel keys in Austin: a pass-protection unit that has kept Trinidad Chambliss upright, the field-flipping leg of punter Oscar Bird, and a résumé already stocked with three wins over AP Top 25 teams. It’s the first meeting with Texas as SEC foes. (Ole Miss Athletics)
Ole Miss Has Earned the Right to Dream Bigger Than Beating Texas
Fri., Oct. 23 · last 24 hours. Coming off the 31-3 demolition of Missouri, the argument here is that Ole Miss should be eyeing more than a road upset — the College Football Playoff is the real prize. Pete Golding keeps preaching one game at a time, but the ceiling for this 5-1 team looks awfully high. (Yahoo Sports)
Ole Miss vs Texas: Previewing a Big Showdown in Austin
Fri., Oct. 23 · last 24 hours. A tidy scene-setter for the Austin showdown: Texas has dropped two straight and can’t find offense, while Ole Miss rides a two-game surge into its biggest road test. Last Word’s writer calls it Rebels 27-23 on a late Chambliss touchdown. That’s their prediction, not ours — the show makes no picks. (Last Word on Sports)
David Pollack Explains Why He Expects Ole Miss to Beat Texas
Fri., Oct. 23 · last 24 hours. On his See Ball Get Ball podcast, former Georgia star David Pollack said he has little faith in Texas, doubting the Longhorns can score, limit big plays or finish in the red zone. His read: Ole Miss wins in Austin because the Rebel offense is clicking at the worst possible time. (Saturday Down South)
Ole Miss vs Texas Prediction: Win Or That’s It
Fri., Oct. 23 · last 24 hours. College Football News’s Pete Fiutak frames it bluntly for Texas: win or the season’s over. He leans Longhorns, 30-26, citing the home crowd and more raw talent, with Vegas listing Texas as a short field-goal favorite. Fiutak’s pick, not ours; we note the number only as context, never a wager. (Yahoo Sports)
Pete Golding Has a Warning for Ole Miss After Dominant Missouri Win
Thu., Oct. 22 · last 48 hours. Don’t let the blowout go to your head. That’s the message Golding delivered after the Missouri rout, reminding a 5-1 team that a brutal two-game stretch — at Texas, then home for Georgia — is staring it down. Refocus, prepare, repeat. The Rebels have been good listeners so far. (Sports Illustrated)
Greg McElroy Previews Top 25 Matchup Between Ole Miss and Texas
Wed., Oct. 21. ESPN’s Greg McElroy sees the stakes clearly: a win in Austin stamps Ole Miss as a genuine SEC title contender, and the Nov. 7 home date with Georgia could decide who plays in Atlanta. A Texas win, he adds, would brand the Longhorns the most dangerous two-loss team in the country. (Saturday Down South)
