Ole Miss Expected to Start Trinidad Chambliss vs. Washington State

Lane Kiffin has not formally named a starter, citing Austin Simmons’ ongoing ankle recovery.

Overview

  • On3 reports Chambliss is expected to make his fourth straight start in Week 7, though Kiffin told the SEC teleconference he is still evaluating the position.
  • Simmons, the preseason starter, is described by Kiffin as not back to 100 percent following a Week 2 ankle injury at Kentucky.
  • Since taking over, the Ferris State transfer has delivered three consecutive 300-yard passing games and compiled 1,033 passing yards, 266 rushing yards, and seven total touchdowns with two interceptions.
  • Chambliss earned AP National Player of the Week after a 314-yard passing, 71-yard rushing performance in the upset of then-No. 4 LSU, fueling Heisman discussion in recent coverage.
  • No. 4 Ole Miss is 5-0 and hosts Washington State on Oct. 11 (SEC Network) before a road game at No. 10 Georgia on Oct. 18.
