How to Watch Oklahoma’s Top 15 Clash With Ole Miss

Oklahoma is once again at the center of an exciting weekend in the Southeastern Conference.

Brent Venables’ Sooners shook off the loss to Texas with a poised showing against South Carolina.

OU leaned on its running game and a dominant defensive showing to power past the Gamecocks 26-7 in the program’s first-ever trip to Williams-Brice Stadium, which set up a top 15 matchup and another first.

Ole Miss makes its inaugural trip to Gaylord-Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium on Saturday (11 a.m., ABC). Lane Kiffin’s squad notched a 26-14 win over the Sooners last year in Oxford, extending the Rebels’ all-time lead in the series to 2-0.

Mississippi first defeated Oklahoma 27-25 in the 1999 Independence Bowl in Bob Stoops’ first year in Norman.

Both teams look significantly different than the teams that contested last year’s matchup.

Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart moved on to the NFL, where he now starts for the New York Giants, while the OU starting quarterback, Jackson Arnold, is struggling at Auburn.

John Mateer replaced Arnold in Norman, and he also enjoyed a bounce-back performance over the weekend.

He wasn’t asked to push the ball too far downfield in his second start since undergoing hand surgery, but Mateer did plenty.

Mateer completed 18-of-26 passes for 150 yards and a touchdown against South Carolina, and he added 14 rushing yards on eight carries. Crucially, he avoided turning the ball over, which has been a small blip on even his best performances in an OU uniform so far.

True freshman running back Tory Blaylock got the biggest workload on the ground, carrying the ball 19 times for 101 yards and a touchdown, and sophomore Xavier Robinson paired with Blaylock to rush 11 times for 58 yards and a touchdown.

The new Rebel leader is Ferris State transfer Trinidad Chambliss.

He took hold of the starting quarterback spot for Ole Miss after Austin Simmons sustained an injury earlier this year, and Chambliss hasn’t looked back.

Chambliss has completed 62.7 percent of his passes this year for 1,549 yards and eight touchdowns while throwing only one interception. He’s also totaled 323 rushing yards and five scores on the ground on 70 carries.

He completed 19-of-36 passes for 263 yards and one touchdown in Saturday’s 43-35 loss to Georgia, which represented the first setback of the year for Ole Miss.

Texas A&M and Alabama remain the only two teams that have yet to lose in SEC play this year, and OU and Mississippi are two of six teams with one loss in conference play so far. Saturday’s battle between the Sooners and the Rebels represents another key matchup in the race to see which two teams will battle for the SEC Championship in Atlanta this winter.

SC measles outbreak remains stalled with no new cases reported

SC measles outbreak remains stalled with no new cases reported

Not long ago, it appeared almost certain that the measles outbreak centered in Spartanburg would surpass 1,000 cases.

Now that case total may be unlikely.

On March 27, DPH reported no new infections. The total number of cases remains at 997, where it has stood since March 17, when DPH reported one new infection.

There is currently one person in quarantine, according to the March 27 DPH update.

The measles outbreak began in October and grew somewhat slowly until the Christmas holidays. In January, the number of cases exploded—from 185 on Jan. 2 to 847 on Jan. 30.

In a March 25 media briefing, state epidemiologist Linda Bell was asked about the declining number of cases.

She credited an uptick in vaccinations in January and February, as well as DPH efforts to identify cases quickly and quarantine people who were infected or exposed.

If no new infections occur, DPH officials said the outbreak could be declared ended on April 26.

DPH officials explained that it takes 42 days with no new infections, “to declare an end to a measles outbreak. This is double the number of days for an incubation period (21 days) and a clear indicator of a broken transmission chain.”

Bell said DPH is asking school nurses and physicians’ offices to report any possible measles symptoms.

She added that health officials are keeping an eye on spring break — April 6-10 for public schools in Spartanburg County — as families might travel for vacation or to visit family members. People lacking immunity could be at risk.

“We remain vigilant,” Bell said, stressing that the two-dose MMR vaccine is the most effective protection against the spread of measles.

NFL Draft Injury Analysis: Jalon Kilgore, S – South Carolina

NFL Draft Injury Analysis: Jalon Kilgore, S – South Carolina

The Lions may be looking for a safety within the first two rounds due to injuries to Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch. That’s where Jalon Kilgore may come in. He has some minor injuries, but appears to be a relatively low-risk prospect for a team that needs to add health to that room.

Here is the excerpt of my medical report on Jalon Kilgore:

Jalon Kilgore, S (21) – South Carolina

Projected round 2-3.

Concern level 2/10

While his availability has been excellent, Kilgore has a history of hamstring strains in 2025 and 2023. If his 2024 injury is found to be also a hamstring, then happenstance becomes a disturbing trend.

With fast-twitch athletes, hamstrings are going to be very common, and generally don’t present any long-term issues. The difficult trick will be to determine if a certain player is more prone to hamstrings.

What helps Kilgore a lot is his young age.
