FINAL: No. 4 OLE MISS 24, WASHINGTON STATE 21
Ole Miss 24, Washington State 14 6:51 4th Qtr
Chambliss hits Cayden Lee who then jukes two Cougar defenders for a 35-yard touchdown and finally the Rebels have some breathing room.
Again, Lacy is a special player. He moved a pile of 22 bodies roughly 3-5 yds forward at the end of that play.
END OF THE 3RD QUARTER: No. 4 OLE MISS 17, WASHINGTON STATE 14
Ole Miss 17, Washington State 14 :32 3rd Qtr
A targeting call on the Cougars helped push Ole Miss down field. Chambliss finally showed the form we have watched the last three games, running the ball in from 17 yards out for the touchdown and Rebels back in front.
Kewan Lacy putting the team on his back today. He’s up to 113 yards on 18 carries and his biggest came on a 4th and short where he had to bounce outside to get the conversion.
Washington State 14, Ole Miss 10 10:19 3rd Qtr
Kirby Voorhees goes 46 yards for the touchdown and puts the Cougars back in front. That one can be credited to Da’Shawn Womack and his roughing the passer penalty when he hit Eckhaus on a third and long pass that fell incomplete.

HALFTIME: NO. 4 OLE MISS 10, WASHINGTON STATE 7
Ole Miss 10, Washington State 7 :31 2nd Qtr
Dae’Quan Wright is going to make himself some money on Sundays next year and also become best friends with Chambliss with catches like he made on that drive. Momentum shifted off the 30-yard pass and then the two-yard pass to him for the touchdown.
Washington State 7, Ole Miss 3 6:19 2nd Qtr
Carniero connects on the 40-yard field goal try and the Rebels are on the board.
Offense is moving when Chambliss has intermediate throws and they run the ball. He should have bounced to the outside on the third down play but didn’t and was a loss on a short-yardage play.
Defense holds and forces a 54-yard field goal try which the Cougars miss. Ole Miss dodges a bullet on the turnover and the offense comes back out.
Washington gets the ball back after a Chambliss fumble on a sack.
Offense was looking better and Chambliss was making shorter immediate throws and moving the ball downfield. A holding call on Diego Pounds and then Chambliss with the sack-fumble snuffs out the momentum.
END OF THE 1ST QUARTER: WASHINGTON STATE 7, No. 4 OLE MISS 0
Chambliss continues to miss the mark on his deep passes and is picked off but a defensive holding bails him and the Rebels out.
Washington State 7, Ole Miss 0 1:58 1st Qtr
Ricky Fletcher got complete lost on the trick play as Landon Wright was wide open in the end zone for the touchdown.
Washington State looks like the more awake team and it is playing two hours ahead of its normal time zone. The Cougars average around 78 rushing yards and already have 21 in the first quarter.
Chambliss hasn’t looked sharp so far today with a few overthrows or misfires. To make matters worse Lucas Carniero misses a 47-yard field goal attempt. Still scoreless with just over six minutes left in the opening quarter.

Defense holds and the Cougars go three-and-out. Delay of game causes the punt to come out of the Washington State end zone, giving the Rebels a short field for the second possession.
Kiffin opts to go for it on 4th down early today and Chambliss isn’t able to convert on a pass to Stribling that sails through the end zone. Turnover on downs for the Rebs
The run game looks like it will be there for Ole Miss today with 32 yards on the opening drive. Lacy looked good bouncing to the outside on some runs.

No. 4 Ole Miss is back in action after its first open date of the season and stepping out of Southeastern Conference play to host Washington State.
This is a first-ever meeting between the two programs but the third time Lane Kiffin has faced the Cougars as a head coach. He went 1-1 against them during his time at Southern California.
That was then and this is now and the Rebels (5-0) are looking to keep their perfect start to the season going with this tune-up game before back-to-back SEC road trips to No. 10 Georgia and No. 6 Oklahoma to close out the month.
Trinidad Chambliss is trending to get his fourth straight start after Kiffin noted earlier in the week that Austin Simmons is still not “100 percent” just yet. Though left it open-ended on if Simmons would see any action or not against Washington State.
Kickoff is set for 11:45 a.m. CT on the SEC Network and Ole Miss is currently a 31.5-point favorite on BetMGM. Keep this page open for live updates, scores and highlights once the game gets underway.
