Overview
- Ole Miss moved to 6-0 with a 24-21 win over Washington State after the Cougars’ final drive stalled at the Rebels’ 38-yard line.
- Trinidad Chambliss went 20-of-29 for 253 yards with two touchdown passes and added a 17-yard rushing score, while Kewan Lacy ran for 142 yards.
- Kiffin said the performance was not to the program’s standard, quipping that a team ranked No. 4 “looked about the 84th,” and he criticized red-zone execution and fan turnout.
- At halftime, Kiffin referenced Chambliss’ Division II background on SEC Network, saying, “Let’s not go back to that Division II stuff,” after an uneven start.
- The quarterback situation remains unsettled with Austin Simmons’ availability unclear, and players acknowledged they must be sharper with Georgia up next.
