Ole Miss announced these helmets on Sept. 18, 2024, but just revealed the uniforms they will be combined with on Thursday leading up to the matchup. The Rebels are also coming off a much needed bye week after a crushing loss in overtime in the Magnolia Bowl against LSU.

It's not overstating it to say that No. 18 Ole Miss' College Football Playoff hopes, according to most college football sportsbooks, rest on doing what should be quite straightforward: beating Oklahoma.

Garrett Nussmeier's 25-yard touchdown pass to Kyren Lacy in overtime gave No. 13 LSU a 29–23 win over No. 9 Ole Miss. The Owls are in their first year at college football's top level and were 26.5-point underdogs. The Bulls guard underwent three knee surgeries while away, including a meniscus and cartilage transplant.
