OXFORD − Ole Miss football is back to winning.

The Rebels beat Oklahoma 26-14 on Saturday at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. The No. 18 Rebels (6-2, 2-2 SEC) got a stifling performance from their defense. Oklahoma (4-4, 1-4) quarterback Jackson Arnold was sacked seven times.

The Rebels entered the game tied for No. 7 in the nation with 24 sacks and will likely rise after the suffocating performance. Linebacker Suntarine Perkins stood out. Perkins had three sacks and 11 total tackles.

The all-time Ole Miss record for sacks in a game is 11.
