Backup QB Trinidad Chambliss shines in surprise start as No. 17 Ole Miss
outlasts Arkansas 41-35

OXFORD, Miss. (AP) --- Backup quarterback Trinidad Chambliss ran for two
touchdowns and threw for one in a surprise start, and No. 17 Mississippi
outlasted Arkansas 41-35 on Saturday night.
Chambliss had rushing touchdowns of 1 and 2 yards, and his 6-yard TD pass to
De'Zhaun Stribling gave Ole Miss (3-0, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) a 38-28
lead in the third quarter. Chambliss finished 21 of 29 passing for 353 yards in
place of Austin Simmons, who was sidelined by a foot injury he sustained in
last week's win at Kentucky.
Simmons spent most of the week in a walking boot, but practiced late in the
week and was expected to start. He made a brief appearance in the second
quarter, throwing a 4-yard touchdown pass to Harrison Wallace III to give Ole
Miss a 28-21 lead. But he limped back to the sideline after his only pass of
the game and did not play in the second half.
Taylen Green threw for a touchdown and ran for one for Arkansas (2-1, 0-1),
finishing with 111 yards rushing on 13 carries. He went 22 of 35 passing for
305 yards. Mike Washington Jr. ran for 65 yards and two TDs.
Ole Miss sealed the game with 1:52 left when TJ Dottery stripped the ball from
Jalen Brown after a short completion in Rebels territory and Wydett Williams
Jr. recovered.
Chambliss, a transfer from Division II Ferris State, totaled more than 3,000
yards of offense as he led the Bulldogs to a national title last season. The
senior debuted for the Rebels last week, leading two drives in the fourth
quarter to preserve the win over Kentucky.
The takeaway Arkansas: The Razorbacks totaled 522 yards of offense but missed two crucial field-goal attempts. September concludes with huge opportunities at Memphis and at home against No. 8 Notre Dame. Ole Miss: Chambliss became the latest hero to emerge in a series trademarked by close games, overtime heroics and bizarre plays. The Rebels finished 7 of 7 in the red zone, and Wallace had six catches for 92 yards.
Poll implications Coach Lane Kiffin's Rebels, ranked eighth of 11 SEC teams in the AP Top 25, will be hard-pressed to make a major surge. But they helped their prospects by moving to 2-0 in league play.
First-half fireworks The teams combined for 59 points and 634 yards of offense and went 7 of 7 in the red zone in the first half. Lucas Carneiro converted a 36-yard field goal on the final play to give Ole Miss a 31-28 halftime edge. Ole Miss scored on each of its five possessions while Arkansas went 4 of 5. Neither team had a turnover.
Up next Arkansas: Visits unbeaten Memphis on Saturday. Ole Miss: Hosts Tulane on Saturday in the second of a four-game homestand. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here and here (AP News mobile app).
