Lane Kiffin not expecting Oklahoma to drastically change game plan with new offensive coordinator
SUMMARY: Oklahoma’s head coach Brent Venables dismissed offensive coordinator Seth Littrell after a loss to South Carolina, promoting Joe Jon Finley, a former Ole Miss assistant, to handle play-calling. Despite their past familiarity, Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin doubts it will provide an advantage due to Finley’s inexperience in this role. Oklahoma’s quarterback Jackson Arnold will lead a depleted offense, missing several key receivers. Meanwhile, Ole Miss struggles with offensive performance despite a strong defense. Both teams seek a critical win to bolster their College Football Playoff aspirations as they meet for the first time as conference rivals this weekend.
