Jaxson Dart threw for 311 yards and No. 18 Mississippi used a big third quarter to beat Oklahoma 26-14 on Saturday
. The Sooners were up 14-10 at the half before the Rebels scored two touchdowns in the third quarter behind Dart and tight end Caden Prieskorn, who had five catches for 71 yards. Oklahoma , in its first game since last Sunday's firing of offensive coordinator Seth Littrell, was productive in the run game in the first half but struggled out of the gate on the back end. The Sooners did not cross the 50 in the second half until the middle of the fourth quarter.
Arnold, OU's QB1 at the beginning of the season, made his first start since being benched in favor of freshman Michael Hawkins Jr. in Week 5. Dart's 24-yard pass to Prieskorn and a 1-yard run by short-yardage specialist JJ Pegues, both in the third quarter, were the scores that made the difference. Dae'Quan Wright, the Rebels' second tight end, had three catches as Dart was forced to find other playmakers in the absence of injured star receiver Tre Harris.
