Chambliss accounts for 4 touchdowns as No. 9 Mississippi beats No. 13 Missouri 31-3

(AP) — Trinidad Chambliss threw for three touchdowns and ran for another Saturday as No.Ole Miss (5-1, 3-1 SEC) was never seriously threatened after trailing 3-0 in the opening 10 minutes.

Trinidad Chambliss was the star of the show as Mississippi's quarterback, connecting on three touchdown passes and adding a 10-yard touchdown run. He completed 20 of 36 passes for 241 yards, with scores of 10, 21, and 17 yards to Caleb Odom, Horatio Fields, and Caleb Cunningham. Missouri struggled, trailing 21-3 at halftime and failing to reach the end zone in the second half until the final minutes.

Jamal Roberts led Missouri with 39 yards on 20 carries, while Kewan Lacy added 122 yards on 16 rushes, solidifying the Rebels' dominance. Ole Miss amassed 498 total yards, with 257 coming from the ground. The transfer portal additions of Missouri quarterback Austin Simmons, receiver Cayden Lee, and defensive back Chris Graves Jr., who returned from high-profile roles the previous year, contributed significantly to the game.

Ole Miss headlined a challenging November schedule, with three of their final four games at home, where they're currently unbeaten. Meanwhile, Missouri had a solid outing from linebacker Nicholas Rodriguez, who recorded 13 tackles, and punter Bruno Reus, who averaged 42.5 yards on seven punts, including two 50-plus yarders downed inside the Ole Miss 20-yard line.

Ole Miss remains on track with games against No. 1 Georgia and No. 7 Texas, both occurring at home where the Rebels boast a 25-1 record since 2023. Their run defense was particularly effective, limiting Missouri to just 39 yards in 26 rushes, with defensive tackle Will Echoles making a notable impact with five tackles, two broken up passes, a sack, and a quarterback hurrier.

Looking ahead, Missouri has an open date before their Oct. 31 matchup against Arkansas, while Ole Miss will face No. 7 Texas on Saturday.
