No. 13 Ole Miss Upsets No. 4 LSU 24–19 in Magnolia Bowl

The result elevates Ole Miss' playoff resume, leaving LSU to confront offensive questions during its bye.

Overview

  • Ole Miss improved to 5-0 (3-0 SEC) by holding LSU to 254 total yards and controlling the second half at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.
  • Division II transfer Trinidad Chambliss threw for 314 yards with his third straight 300-yard game and added key late runs in his third start.
  • The Rebels outgained the Tigers 480-254 and limited LSU to 57 rushing yards without top back Caden Durham.
  • A fourth-and-3 completion from Chambliss to tight end Dae'Quan Wright in the final minutes allowed Ole Miss to drain the clock and secure the win.
  • LSU fell to 4-1 (1-1 SEC) after continued third-down issues and pass-protection woes, with both teams now entering bye weeks before LSU hosts South Carolina and Ole Miss hosts Washington State on Oct. 11; pregame crowd-control barriers were added as a safety measure.
