Trinidad Chambliss threw three touchdown passes and rushed for another score as No. 9 Ole Miss dominated on defense in a 31-3 Saturday afternoon triumph over No. 13 Missouri in Oxford, Miss.
Kewan Lacy gained 122 rushing yards on 16 carries for the Rebels despite missing multiple drives because of an injured hamstring. Makhi Frazier added 101 rushing yards on 15 carries for Ole Miss, which scored the final 31 points.
The Rebels (5-1, 3-1 Southeastern Conference) limited Mizzou halfback Jamal Roberts to 39 rushing yards on 20 carries after he had rushed for over 200 yards in each of the previous two games.
Chambliss completed 20 of 36 passes for 241 yards, finding three different receivers for scores in the first half before running for a short TD in the fourth quarter. Including the previous game against Vanderbilt, it's the first time Chambliss finished consecutive FBS games with at least three touchdown passes.
Caleb Odom caught a 10-yard touchdown, Horatio Fields brought in another from 21 yards and Caleb Cunningham scored from 17 yards, all in the first half.
Mizzou (5-2, 2-2) finished the game with 10 straight scoreless possessions after Blake Craig kicked a short field goal on the Tigers' opening drive. Craig also shanked a 23-yard attempt with the Tigers down 14-3 in the second quarter.
Mizzou's best drive of the second half ended with Austin Simmons throwing an interception to freshman Landon Barnes near the goal line.

Simmons completed 25 of 44 passes for 339 yards but consistently misfired on long attempts. An Ole Miss transfer who began the 2025 season as the Rebels' starter, Simmons finished Ole Miss' run to the College Football Playoff semifinals as the top backup to Chambliss.
Simmons hooked up with fellow Ole Miss transfer Cayden Lee on a 43-yard pass in the second quarter, but Lee was otherwise covered well by the Rebels. Donovan Olugbode led the Tigers with 127 receiving yards on nine catches.
Mizzou was looking for its first victory on the road against an AP top-10 team since Oct. 12, 2013, when the Tigers defeated No. 7 Georgia 41--26 in Athens. The Tigers still have to visit Georgia, which took over the No. 1 spot in the AP poll before losing to Auburn Saturday, on their schedule.
Chambliss started 2-of-7 passing against the wind before he started to heat up late in the first quarter. Odom got wide open in the end zone to finish an eight-play, 75-yard drive to give Ole Miss the lead with 5:42 to go in the first.
Ole Miss didn't have its top tailback or its starting center for much of the next two drives, but Chambliss was sharp, zipping a 21-yard pass to Fields in the end zone.
Lacy and center Brycen Sanders -- who was treated for a leg injury in the first half -- returned in the second half.
Ole Miss finished with 498 yards of offense, including 257 on the ground. Mizzou averaged 1.5 yards per rush.
