Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels remain unbeaten to open the 2025 season after a critical Southeastern Conference victory over the LSU Tigers in Week 5.

In a matchup that stole headlines all week leading into it, Kiffin and Co. handled business at Vaught Hemingway Stadium being a masterclass performance from quarterback Trinidad Chambliss.

“Today, beating No. 4-ranked LSU, one of our rivals, it’s like a dream come true,” Chambliss said. “A great team win, great team win.

"Defense played amazing. Offensive line gave me a great pocket and our receivers just made plays. Our running backs, Kewan Lacy and Logan Diggs just running it in. Yeah, it was a great win.”

After back-to-back performances where the Ferris State transfer eclipsed 400 yards of total offense in wins over Arkansas and Tulane, Chambliss worked his magic once again against the No. 4 defense in the SEC.

Chambliss ended the first half with 242 yards of total offense with the Division II All-American transfer lighting up LSU's defense from start to finish.

He was simply sensational against a Top-20 defense in America with his dual-threat abilities giving the Tigers fits.

The Rebels' signal-caller was the clearcut MVP on Saturday afternoon at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium after orchestrating drive after drive that resulted in points on an LSU defense that gave up 9.6 points per game heading into Week 5.

Chambliss ended the night with 314 passing yards and 71 rushing yards to once again get over 380 yards of total offense in his third consecutive game.

Now, the Ole Miss Rebels officially have America's attention with the program set to cruise into the Top-10 of the AP Top-25 Poll on Sunday.
