Overview

  • Quarterback Trinidad Chambliss went 20-of-29 for 253 yards with two touchdown passes and a 17-yard rushing score, and Kewan Lacy added 142 rushing yards.
  • Washington State, a 30-plus-point underdog, led for much of the first three quarters and pulled within three late before its final drive from its own 10-yard line ended short of field-goal range.
  • Ole Miss stumbled early with a goal-line turnover on downs, a missed 47-yard field goal and eight penalties, then failed to drain the clock and had to punt in the final minutes.
  • Lane Kiffin publicly knocked the home student turnout, quipping that the red-zone offense performed like the student section after the narrow win.
  • The victory moved Ole Miss to 6-0 with road tests next at No. 10 Georgia on Oct. 18 and then No. 6 Oklahoma, keeping questions about consistency in focus.
