Chambliss Throws for 314 Yards as Ole Miss Beats No. 4 LSU

Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss threw for 314 yards and a touchdown and the Rebels beat No. 4 LSU 24-19 on Saturday in Oxford, handing the Tigers their first loss of the season and exposing continued offensive struggles for LSU. The Rebels outgained LSU 480 yards to 254 and improved to 5-0 overall and 3-0 in SEC play. LSU fell to 4-1 and 1-1 in the conference.

Chambliss, a Division II transfer who has started three games, also rushed for 71 yards and sealed the win with a fourth down completion to tight end DaeQuan Wright as Ole Miss ran out the clock. The senior was named the national player of the week after his performance, marking his third straight game with at least 300 yards of total offense. Running back Kewan Lacy and former LSU back Logan Diggs added rushing touchdowns for the Rebels.

LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier completed 21 of 34 passes for 197 yards with one touchdown and one interception. The Tigers were held to a season low in total offense and managed just 57 yards on the ground in a game played without starting running back Caden Durham. LSU converted two of 11 third down attempts and was hampered by penalties that helped sustain Ole Miss drives.
