Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels remain in headlines after taking down the LSU Tigers on Saturday afternoon in a 24-19 win at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

The Trinidad Chambliss era has arrived in Oxford with the Division II All-American quarterback taking America by storm across his first three starts.

Chambliss was once again sensational for the Rebels on Saturday after lifting the Rebels to a top-five win over LSU - totaling over 380 yards of offense on the day with critical conversions down the stretch.

“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.”
