Ole Miss Upsets No. 4 LSU; Nussmeier Questioned

No. 13 Ole Miss upset No. 4 LSU 24-19 in Oxford as Division II transfer Trinidad Chambliss threw for 314 yards and a touchdown (his third straight 300-yard game) and the Rebels outgained the Tigers 480-254. LSU managed just 254 total yards and 57 rushing yards and was missing key players including Caden Durham and Weston Davis, magnifying pressure on quarterback Garrett Nussmeier. Nussmeier finished 21-of-34 for 197 yards with one touchdown and one interception and declined to answer postgame questions about his health after weeks of speculation. Coach Brian Kelly said Nussmeier is healthy but had previously acknowledged the quarterback had been slowed by torso tightness in practice. The loss ends LSU’s unbeaten start, deepens concerns about the offense and Nussmeier’s standing as an elite draft prospect, and gives the Tigers a bye week to regroup before a critical October slate.
