Overview

• Team and media reporting indicate the Rebels are leaning toward Chambliss getting the nod against LSU, though the decision has not been formally announced.
• Across two starts, the Division II transfer has totaled 660 passing yards with three touchdowns, added 174 rushing yards and two scores, and ranks seventh in ESPN’s QBR.
• Lane Kiffin has said Austin Simmons is the starter when fully healthy, leaving a call to make as Simmons returns from an ankle injury after throwing four interceptions in the first two games.
• Multiple opposing coaches and an NFL scout told CBS Sports Chambliss’ dynamic play evokes Kyler Murray and, in one comparison, former Houston star Greg Ward.
• Because Division II only recently adopted a redshirt rule, Chambliss would need to pursue an NCAA waiver to gain another season of eligibility.
