Ole Miss quarterback previews LSU game, match vs. Lane Kiffin
· Yahoo Sports
While talking with reporters at the Manning Passing Academy on Friday, Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss talked about what the game-day atmosphere will be like when facing former head coach Lane Kiffin and LSU football in 2026.
“Honestly, wilder and crazier than any other game that we had last year," Chambliss said. "I’ve heard that they might need the SWAT, which would be crazy, but Oxford’s gonna be electric. It’s gonna be a real fun week in Oxford.”

The Week 3 game in Oxford between the Rebels and Tigers carries conference and College Football Playoff implications. But it also marks the first meeting between Kiffin and his former team since his late 2025 departure.
Kiffin led the Rebels to new heights over his six-year tenure as they recorded four double-digit win seasons and made their first appearance in the College Football Playoffs. With him to LSU, he brought offensive coordinator Charlie Weis along with much of the offensive staff and several players, including Princewill Umanmielen and TJ Dottery.
Those newly minted Tigers will come face-to-face with their former coworkers and teammates in September. But Chambliss maintains the significance of not letting the moment get too big for the Rebels.
“Just make it a regular game," Chambliss said. "I can’t let it get too big, can’t let it be like a Super Bowl or a playoff game. It’s a regular-season game. Yes, there’s probably going to be playoff implications so we just gotta make sure that we’re sharp and can’t get too ahead of myself."
