Trinidad Chambliss issues apology for postgame comments after beating LSU

By Matt Wadleigh | Last updated Sep 20, 2026 9:14 AM ET

The biggest game of college football this weekend was the Ole Miss Rebels hosting the LSU Tigers in Lane Kiffin's highly anticipated return to Oxford.

In the end, it was Ole Miss and Trindad Chambliss who got the 32-24 win. Chambliss scored a 14-yard touchdown, and the Rebels converted the two-point conversion with just over six minutes left in what proved to be the game-winner. Following the game, Chambliss fueled the rivalry even more by saying the team's slogan at the end of his postgame interview.

"Hotty ——- Toddy."

Chambliss stayed at Ole Miss, although rumors swirled about Kiffin trying to lure Chambliss to Baton Rouge. After the game, Chambliss apologized for the comments, according to John Talty of CBS Sports.

It remains to be seen if Chambliss apologizes for the comments themselves, or for dropping a curse word on live television in front of tons of viewers.

Trinidad Chambliss apologizes for his “Hotty Fucking Toddy” remark on TV after the game. Says his emotions got the best of him and that’s not who he is.

Trinidad Chambliss made his old coach pay

It was a long week leading up to this game, and the offseason was also full of plenty of reports about Kiffin, Chambliss and LSU.

In the end, Chambliss showed why he is a Heisman Trophy candidate. He went 33-of-48 for 363 yards with two touchdowns and an interception, and he added the game-winning score on the ground.

Ole Miss is now 3-0 with Pete Golding at the helm, and LSU and Kiffin are leaving Oxford wondering what could've been with a matchup against Texas A&M on deck.
