Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin chose not to zero in on the silver lining after a loss at Georgia. He'd rather think about Oklahoma.

OSU has fallen so far that a 49-17 loss to Cincinnati won’t be remembered at all for the score, but rather as the game when the bananas merged with the shirtless and partied late into the night. And for that you can’t help but smile.

Brendan Sorsby threw three touchdown passes and ran for a score and No. 24 Cincinnati took control late and beat Oklahoma State 49-17 on Saturday night for its sixth straight victory.

The Sooners invested heavily in Mateer over the offseason when he transferred from Washington State, making him one of the most highly-paid players in the country, according to 247Sports. Early on, the Little Elm, Texas, native has lived up to the hype. Heading into Week 7, Mateer ranked No. 2 nationally in total offense per game.

OU coach Brent Venables said offensive lineman Derek Simmons is "day-to-day" after exiting the Texas game with an injury.

Oklahoma entered the season with one of the toughest schedules in the SEC. The Sooners travel to a South Carolina team desperately needing a win in Week 8 before four straight games against teams currently ranked in the top 16 of the AP Top 25.
