Trinidad Chambliss accounts for three touchdowns while Lane Kiffin earns his 50th career win as the Rebels remain undefeated in a hard-fought Oxford showdown.
OXFORD, Miss. | In a tense back-and-forth battle fitting for Homecoming weekend, No. 4 Ole Miss (6–0) survived a late Washington State rally to secure a 24–21 win inside Vaught-Hemingway Stadium on Saturday. The victory preserved the Rebels’ unbeaten season and marked head coach Lane Kiffin’s 50th career win at Ole Miss, achieved in just 68 games — the fastest pace in program history.
Ole Miss improved to 74-17-2 all-time in Homecoming games and extended its non-conference dominance under Kiffin, who is now 22-2 overall and 19-0 in regular-season non-conference play. The win also gave the Rebels their best start since 2022, continuing their climb toward College Football Playoff contention.
Quarterback Trinidad Chambliss delivered another poised performance, going 20-for-29 passing for three total touchdowns (two through the air, one rushing). The sophomore’s ability to improvise under pressure — highlighted by his 17-yard scramble touchdown in the third quarter — kept the Rebels in control during key drives.
Tight end Dae’Quan Wright continued his record-breaking campaign, catching four passes for 80 yards and a touchdown, tying Don Williams for sixth in career touchdown receptions among Rebel tight ends. De’Zhaun Stribling added six receptions for 63 yards against his former team, while freshman running back Kewan Lacy powered the ground game with 142 rushing yards on 24 carries, marking his third 100-yard performance of the season and a new career high.
