Currently, the Ole Miss Rebels boast an impressive record of 3-0 and are 2-0 in Southeastern Conference (SEC) play. Last weekend, Ole Miss claimed victory over the Arkansas Razorbacks with a close score of 41-35. The win was notable for the strong performance of backup quarterback Trinidad Chambliss, who completed 21 of 29 passes for a total of 353 yards, along with one touchdown. In addition to his passing success, Chambliss was also the leading rusher for the Rebels, contributing 62 yards and two rushing touchdowns.
As it stands, Ole Miss is the only team in the SEC that has played two conference games this season. Their consistent performances have earned them a spot in the rankings, placing them at No. 11 in the US LBM Coaches Poll and No. 13 in the AP poll.
Looking ahead, Ole Miss will continue its four-game home stand next week by hosting Tulane, which also holds a record of 3-0 under the leadership of former Ole Miss assistant coach Jon Sumrall. Tulane recently triumphed over Duke with a score of 37-24, despite losing last year’s quarterback Darian Mensah to the transfer portal.
In their last outing, the Ole Miss and Arkansas teams combined for a staggering total of 997 yards of offense, highlighting the offensive explosiveness present in the matchup. This kind of scoring capability will be crucial as they prepare to take on an LSU team that recently defeated Florida 20-10, also bringing their record to 3-0 and 1-0 in SEC play.
The upcoming game against LSU is expected to be a hard-fought contest as both teams are steeped in tradition and rivalry within the SEC.
