The Ole Miss Rebels (9-1, 5-0 SEC) remain squarely in the mix for a College Football Playoff berth with the program handling business in a 49-0 win on Saturday at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

Behind a strong performance from quarterback Trinidad Chambliss paired with a flawless effort on defense, Lane Kiffin and Co. moved to 9-1 with the Rebels firing on all cylinders in Week 11.

“I was really pleased with how the starters played today,” Kiffin said after the win on Saturday. “These games can be hard to get up for.

“Our guys came prepared. Thirty-five to five on first downs. They really answered the challenge of coming out with the same energy regardless of the time, crowd or network. I wish our backup offense would’ve played better, but the back-ups defensively played well. Overall we had a very good day.”

Now, Ole Miss sits at 9-1 with two regular season games remaining on the docket against the Florida Gators and Mississippi State Bulldogs to close out the year.
