The Ole Miss football team's clash with Oklahoma could potentially be moved to Sunday after the FAA ground stoppage that has hit the country. That potential delay could end up improving the chances of two Rebels players playing in the game.
As ESPN's Pete Thamel shared on X, formerly Twitter, running back Makhi Frazier has been listed as questionable to play. Meanwhile, defensive tackle Will Echoles is listed as probable.
Frazier's potential absence could be huge for Ole Miss, which will already be without top rusher Kewan Lacy (388 yards) and a host of other players.
Frazier is a close second to Lacy with 365 yards, but he has yet to score a single touchdown this season. He's coming off a season-low eight rushing yards in Ole Miss' disastrous 42-7 defeat to Georgia. However, he did have a season-high 22 receiving yards on four catches.
Should Frazier miss out, Shekai Mills-Knights looks set to take over as the team's lead back. He was one of the rare bight spots for the Rebels against Georgia as he had 52 rushing yards with a touchdown.

Over his last two games, he's picked up 123 yards on 29 carries with two touchdowns. He has scored a touchdown in each of his three appearances this season.
As for Echoles, his probable presence will be a boost to the defensive line. The junior's got 22 total tackles on the season and is third on the team with 2.5 sacks. However, the Rebels have significant problems behind Echoles, with seven linebackers and safeties listed as out against Oklahoma.
