The No. 13 Ole Miss Rebels secured a thrilling 24-19 victory over the No. 4 LSU Tigers in a closely contested Southeastern Conference showdown. The Rebels' win was fueled by outstanding performances from quarterback Trinidad Chambliss, who threw for 314 yards and a touchdown, and running back Kewan Lacy, who rushed for 87 yards and a score.


LSU's Harlem Berry scored a touchdown with just over five minutes remaining, narrowing the deficit to 24-19. However, the Tigers' attempt at a two-point conversion fell short, sealing the win for Ole Miss. Despite a strong effort, LSU's offense struggled to find its rhythm, particularly in the running game, where they managed only 57 rushing yards. Quarterback Garrett Nussmeier completed 21 of 34 passes for 197 yards, throwing one touchdown and one interception.


The Rebels' victory marked a significant upset, with Ole Miss outplaying a top-five defense. Trinidad Chambliss was instrumental in the win, showcasing his dual-threat abilities and orchestrating drives that resulted in points. The Tigers, on the other hand, were plagued by undisciplined football, including multiple penalties and missed opportunities.


The Ole Miss Rebels secured another win, successfully running out the clock to cap off their fifth victory of the season. Senior Dae'Quan Wright showcased his skills, catching a crucial pass to help seal the win. Wright finished the game with an impressive 66 yards on four receptions, marking his fourth consecutive game with at least 60 receiving yards this season.




LSU scored the game's first points with a seven-yard touchdown pass from Garrett Nussmeier to Nic Anderson, culminating a 67-yard drive. This touchdown would prove to be the Tigers' only score of the first half, setting the tone for a challenging day offensively.


Ole Miss responded to the Tigers' touchdown with an 18-play, 83-yard drive that showcased their determination. Although the drive stalled, the Rebels managed to capitalize with a field goal, narrowing the deficit to 7-3.




The second quarter saw a series of pivotal moments. LSU's Garrett Nussmeier threw an interception just 44 seconds in, but both teams struggled to gain momentum, exchanging punts. The Tigers eventually forced a fumble, only to punt again. However, Ole Miss seized the opportunity after the punt, with a 70-yard drive culminating in a 15-yard touchdown run by Kewan Lacy. The drive was fueled by two crucial defensive pass interference calls on LSU, allowing the Rebels to score efficiently in just five plays.




Ole Miss continued to build on their momentum after forcing another LSU punt. Trinidad Chambliss led the Rebels on a scoring drive, culminating in a two-yard touchdown pass to Cayden Lee. This gave Ole Miss a commanding 17-7 lead heading into halftime.


The third quarter was marked by defensive intensity, with both teams struggling to find the end zone. LSU managed to chip away at the lead with a pair of field goals, narrowing the deficit to 17-13. The second field goal came after LSU intercepted Chambliss, capitalizing on the turnover to stay within striking distance.




The fourth quarter began with Ole Miss extending their lead, thanks to a Logan Diggs rushing touchdown. This gave the Rebels a 24-13 advantage, putting the pressure on LSU to mount a comeback.


LSU's late-game efforts to mount a comeback ultimately fell short, leaving them with a 4-1 overall record and 1-1 in the SEC. In contrast, Ole Miss improved to 5-0 overall and 3-0 in the SEC, showcasing their dominance in the conference.




The Rebels' victory was fueled by impressive offense, with 480 total yards compared to LSU's 254. Despite committing 14 penalties, Ole Miss's strong performance on both sides of the ball proved decisive. Trinidad Chambliss led the team with 358 total yards, including 314 passing yards and one touchdown, while Kewan Lacy rushed for 87 yards on 23 attempts.
