10/17/2026 | Football
OXFORD, Miss. – No. 9 Ole Miss (5-1, 3-1) defeated No. 13 Missouri (5-2, 2-2) in its 99th Homecoming game, 31-3, inside Vaught-Hemmingway Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Trinidad Chambliss cracked Ole Miss' all-time top 10 list for career passing yards. He also recorded his 19th consecutive game with a touchdown pass which ties for the second-most in program history with Matt Corral. Chambliss reached the endzone four times with three scores through the air and one on the ground.
Kewan Lacy eclipsed 100 rushing yards for the first time since the 2026 CFP Semifinals against Miami with 122, as Ole Miss out-rushed Missouri, 257-to-39. It was also the first time Ole Miss had two runners each rush for 100 yards since Arkansas in 2022, as Makhi Frazier ran for 101.
The victory marked Ole Miss' first against Mizzou since 1974, while head coach Pete Golding improved to 5-2 all-time against ranked opponents.
The Rebels won their 15th consecutive home game, which gives them the second-longest active streak in the FBS. Ole Miss also improved to 80-17-2 all-time in homecoming games in Oxford.

Chambliss went 20-of-36 through the air for 241 yards and four total touchdowns. Lacy added a season-high 122 yards on 16 carries while Makhi Frazier set his career-high in rushing yards at Ole Miss with 101 on 15 attempts. The Rebels rushed for 6.7 yards per carry.
Ole Miss had four receivers with three or more catches, as Caleb Cunningham led the way with three catches for 61 yards and a touchdown. Caleb Odom notched four receptions for 37 yards and a score, while Horatio Fields and Traylon Ray recorded 40-plus yards apiece.

Will Echoles stuffed the stat sheet with five tackles, two pass break ups and a sack. Tah'j Butler registered seven tackles, five solos and a quarterback hurry.
First Quarter
The Rebel offense sputtered on its opening drive, ending the possession with an Oscar Bird punt. Former Ole Miss quarterback Austin Simmons led Missouri on a 10-play, 75-yard drive, capped by Blake Craig's 27-yard field goal to give the Tigers an early lead.
Ole Miss responded on its next possession as Trinidad Chambliss and the Rebel offense moved downfield to reclaim the lead.

Missouri's special teams gave the Tigers favorable field position with a kickoff return to their own 42-yard line.

Ole Miss held a commanding 28-3 lead over Missouri with 12:44 remaining in the game.
