What channel is Ball State vs Northern Illinois on today? Time, TV schedule to watch Week 9 game Coming off back-to-back losses of at least 26 points, Oklahoma football returns to action in Week 9 with a road trip at No. 18 Ole Miss on Saturday. The Sooners' offense is going back to sophomore quarterback Jackson Arnold, the former five-star recruit who began the year as the starter before being benched for true freshman Michael Hawkins Jr. in their loss to Tennessee. Hawkins Jr. surrendered three turnovers — two of which returned for touchdowns — against South Carolina, opening the door for Arnold. I've meant to take some time off after I finished playing and I promised the family that we would have some time together and it's never happened. Gulf District Schools Superintendent Jim Norton confirmed that Chance Gainer, an 18-year-old wide receiver and defensive back at Port St. Joe High School, died following the away game at Liberty County High School. While researching and writing a story on Champion in 2017, I recall being struck standing in Perry Cemetery at Champion's gravesite by the simplicity of the stone but the tragic gone-far-too-soon message it conveyed: "Vaughn M. Champion — (March) 4, 1910 — Oct. 5, 1928" According to the school district update, "this citation was issued as a result of the investigation, but is not related to the original assault allegation." Norton described Gainer's death as a "tragic loss" and said "our community is in profound sorrow."
