Oxford, Mississippi – No. 13 Ole Miss extended its unbeaten streak, improving to 4-0 in the 2025 college football season with a 45-10 victory over Tulane, which fell to 3-1. The game, held at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, showcased Ole Miss’s dominant offense and a resilient defense that held the Green Wave to just 10 points.
The Rebels jumped to a commanding lead, scoring 23 points by halftime while limiting Tulane to only 3 points. This performance reflected Ole Miss’s capability both in scoring and defense, a key combination that has led to their successful season thus far.
Trinidad Chambliss, Ole Miss’s starting quarterback, displayed impressive skills, completing 17 of 27 passes for a total of 307 yards, along with two touchdown passes. Chambliss also highlighted his dual-threat capability by rushing for 112 yards on 14 carries.
Running back Kewan Lacy contributed significantly to the team’s success, adding two 1-yard touchdown runs and finishing with 68 rushing yards on 18 attempts. Other key offensive players included Deuce Alexander, who caught 4 passes for 94 yards, including a 33-yard touchdown reception, and Dae’Quan Wright, who scored on a 5-yard touchdown pass from Chambliss.
Throughout the game, the Rebels showcased a balanced attack, distributing the ball effectively as Chambliss connected with seven different receivers. The team capitalized on every opportunity, successfully scoring on all six of their trips to the red zone and amassing a total of 548 yards of offense.
On the other side, Tulane’s offense faced challenges throughout the game, managing only 282 total yards. Starting quarterback Jake Retzlaff had a particularly tough outing, completing just 5 of 17 passes for 56 yards and struggling during crucial moments, including turning the ball over on downs three times in the second half.
The Green Wave did manage to score a field goal in the third quarter and a late touchdown pass from backup quarterback Brendan Sullivan to Anthony Brown-Stephens, but overall, their performance was deemed lacking. Tulane’s head coach described the outcome of the game as “frustrating,” reflecting their difficulties against a formidable Ole Miss squad.
Looking ahead, Ole Miss will face a challenging matchup against No. 3 LSU in Week 5, while Tulane will shift its focus to conference play with an upcoming game against Tulsa. Despite the setback, the loss does not significantly harm Tulane’s aspirations for a College Football Playoff berth, as they transition into American Athletic Conference action.
The game was broadcast live on ESPN, allowing fans to follow the action through various streaming options available on the ESPN app and website.
