Ole Miss Expected to Start Trinidad Chambliss at QB vs. Tulane

Sources indicate the senior will get the nod with Austin Simmons still recovering from an ankle injury.

Overview

  • On3 Sports reports Chambliss is in line for a second straight start Saturday, while Yahoo cites ESPN saying Simmons is unlikely to open.
  • Simmons hurt his left ankle in the Week 2 win at Kentucky and briefly returned in Week 3 for a 4-yard touchdown before aggravating it.
  • Chambliss delivered 353 passing yards on 21-of-29 throwing with one passing score, plus 62 rushing yards and two touchdowns against Arkansas.
  • No. 13 Ole Miss is 3-0 heading into Week 4 against 3-0 Tulane, which is pushing for a signature nonconference result.
  • With No. 3 LSU on deck in Week 5, Simmons’ four interceptions this season and his recovery timeline are central to Ole Miss’ planning.
