Mississippi's Chambliss Leads Ole Miss Past LSU in Top-15 Clash

Trinidad Chambliss led No. 13 Ole Miss to a 24-19 victory over No. 4 LSU, passing for 314 yards and a touchdown, marking his third consecutive 300-yard passing game since transferring from Division II. Ole Miss outgained LSU 480 yards to 254, with key contributions from Kewan Lacy and former LSU running back Logan Diggs, while LSU struggled on the ground without top running back Caden Durham, gaining just 57 rushing yards. LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, once considered a Heisman Trophy contender, completed 62% of his passes for 197 yards with one touchdown and one interception but faced frustration as LSU's offense faltered due to injuries and ineffective rushing. Ole Miss controlled the clock late in the game, sealing the win with a critical fourth-down completion by Chambliss to Dae'Quan Wright. LSU's two-point conversion attempt late in the game failed, preventing a comeback, while Ole Miss improved to 5-0 and 3-0 in SEC play. The game highlighted Ole Miss's offensive prowess and LSU's ongoing struggles, especially in the running game, with LSU coach Brian Kelly emphasizing the need for Nussmeier to perform better despite injury challenges.
