Ole Miss Beats No. 4 LSU 24-19

Ole Miss defeated No. 4 LSU 24-19 at Vaught-Hemingway on Sept. 27, improving to 5-0 (3-0 SEC) in a win sealed by a fourth-down conversion and a defense that held LSU to 57 rushing yards. Backup-turned-starter Trinidad Chambliss was 23-for-39 for 314 yards with one touchdown, one interception and 71 rushing yards. Lane Kiffin praised the team's quarterback depth as a “good problem,” noted staff losses to LSU this offseason, and lauded fans for not rushing the field. Kiffin also playfully ribbed LSU linebacker Whit Weeks (who recently went public with Kiffin’s daughter Landry) while otherwise praising Weeks. Ole Miss will use its upcoming bye before hosting Washington State on Oct. 11 as Kiffin sorts the quarterback situation and prepares for a stretch of high-profile games that will test the Rebels’ playoff mettle.
