The Oklahoma Sooners head into Week 11 with a big challenge. The Sooners take on the Ole Miss Rebels in Norman on Saturday, and one of their standout players is Trinidad Chambliss.

Chambliss is considered one of, if not the best, quarterbacks in college football. Chambliss has thrown for 2,359 yards, 18 touchdowns and nine interceptions, while rushing for 187 yards and seven scores. He was a big reason the Rebels beat the Sooners last year in Norman, 34-26. In that game, he threw for 315 yards and rushed for 53.

Oklahoma linebacker Owen Heinecke praised Chambliss and said he's the key for the Sooner defense.

"He's one of the best players in the country, and last year when we played here, he extended a lot of plays that felt like we should have been off the field on," Heinecke said via SoonerScoop. "So, he's the key. The whole offense runs through him. He's got a lot of weapons all around him. So, we've got to bottle him up."

Containing Chambliss will require more than simply winning at the line of scrimmage. Oklahoma's defense must stay disciplined in its coverage, maintain its pass rush and prevent him from turning broken plays into explosive gains. His ability to extend plays makes him dangerous even when the Rebels appear to be out of options, and Heinecke knows the Sooners cannot afford to lose track of him.

The good news for Oklahoma is that its defense has several playmakers who can make an impact. The Sooners have shown they can create turnovers and get critical stops, but they'll need another complete performance against a quarterback who has already given them problems. If Oklahoma can limit Chambliss' mobility and force the Rebels to rely on other parts of their offense, it will have a much better chance of changing the outcome from last season's meeting.
