No. 7 Ole Miss (7-1, 4-1 SEC) will take the field at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium on Saturday night with the South Carolina Gamecocks up next on the docket.

After a statement victory over the Oklahoma Sooners in Week 9, all focus is on carrying the momentum into this weekend in Oxford.

But Lane Kiffin and Co. are gearing up for another challenging Southeastern Conference foe with LaNorris Sellers and the Gamecocks heading to town.

"You see every week around the country, but especially in this conference, how hard the games are, how many are one possessions," Kiffin said this week.

"All our games have been one-possession final scores. And so, you know, this is a really challenging time to play in the SEC and coach in the SEC and especially adding another game next year to this and and battling through the schedule.
