The Division II transfer was named AP National Player of the Week, punctuating Ole Miss' rise to No. 4 with the quarterback decision still officially open entering a bye.

Overview

  • Ole Miss beat LSU 24-19 in Oxford as Trinidad Chambliss totaled 314 passing yards and 71 rushing, marking a third straight 300-yard outing.
  • The Ferris State transfer became the first SEC player in roughly 30 years to log 300 passing yards and 50 rushing yards in three consecutive games.
  • The Rebels outgained LSU 480-254, held the Tigers to 57 rushing yards, committed 14 penalties for 109 yards, and did not allow a sack.
