Overview

  • Ole Miss beat Georgia 39–34 in the Sugar Bowl CFP quarterfinal as Chambliss went 30-of-46 for 362 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions.
  • Chambliss set a College Football Playoff record with 13 straight completions and led the decisive late drive to seal the win.
  • The Rebels advance to a semifinal against Miami following the upset of the Bulldogs.
  • Tim Tebow lauded the showing on SEC Network, calling it one of the best quarterback performances since the Playoff began.
  • Chambliss has a pending NCAA request for an extra year tied to 2022 tonsillitis issues after initial feedback was reportedly unfavorable, his attorney submitted additional medical records, and draft buzz is rising even as some analysts flag size and Division II roots with comparisons to Kyler Murray; reports suggest he could consider LSU if the waiver is granted.
