Trinidad Chambliss leads No. 8 Mississippi past No. 7 LSU 32-24 in Lane
Kiffin's return to Ole Miss

OXFORD, Miss. (AP) --- Lane Kiffin's new team at LSU couldn't deny Trinidad
Chambliss --- the quarterback Kiffin helped transform into a star after
recruiting him from a Division II program to Mississippi last year.
Chambliss passed for 363 yards and two touchdowns and ran for a tiebreaking
score in the fourth quarter, and No. 8 Ole Miss delighted a crowd that was
already revved up about Kiffin's return, beating the seventh-ranked Tigers
32-24 on Saturday night.
LSU stormed back from a 24-7 halftime deficit to tie the game before Chambliss
engineered a 75-yard touchdown drive without the services of top running back
Kewan Lacy, who left the game with an injured left shoulder.
Chambliss faked a handoff and ran 14 yards against the grain, outracing LSU
safety Ty Benefield to the pylon, and Ole Miss (3-0, 1-0 SEC) added a 2-point
conversion to take an eight-point lead with 6:14 to go.
LSU answered by driving 69 yards to the Ole Miss 6 before Sam Leavitt missed
open tight end Zach Grace along the goal line with a third-down pass, and then
had his fourth-down pass deflected off the helmet of defensive end Kam
Franklin. Jaylon Braxton intercepted the ball in the end zone to seal it.
Leavitt passed for 153 yards and a touchdown and ran for 63 yards and a score
for LSU (2-1, 0-1).
