Ole Miss Upsets No. 4 LSU 24-19 to Claim Magnolia Bowl

The win vaulted the Rebels into the SEC’s top tier with momentum toward the expanded playoff.

Overview

  • Backup quarterback Trinidad Chambliss completed 23 of 39 passes for 313 yards and converted a late fourth-and-3 to Dae'Quan Wright to clinch the game.
  • Ole Miss outgained LSU 480-254 and limited the Tigers to only two third-down conversions in a stifling defensive performance.
  • LSU managed just 57 rushing yards with leading rusher Caden Durham out with an ankle injury, while Garrett Nussmeier was held to 197 passing yards with one touchdown and one interception.
  • LSU linebacker Whit Weeks had a viral moment appearing to vomit on the field and later left in the fourth quarter with a lower-leg issue after recovering a fumble earlier.
  • Lane Kiffin leaned into the subplot by joking postgame about “covering the over” with Weeks and posting Brian Kelly’s pregame quote about keeping the Magnolia Trophy in Baton Rouge.
