The Ole Miss Rebels and LSU Tigers game was exactly what fans had hoped it would be, coming down to a neck-and-neck win at the very end of the game.
It seemed like a blowout was in store for Ole Miss. They had a 24-7 lead going into halftime and seemed ready to close things out early. But they didn't. LSU came back and notched 17 points right out of the gate in the second half to tie the game at 24 apiece in the fourth quarter.
Then, Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss fought back in a great way. He did it all, including converting a two-point conversion to take the lead. Finally, Ole Miss closed the game out with a 32-24 final score.
On Monday afternoon, Ole Miss and the SEC announced some lofty news about Chambliss. He's officially the SEC Offensive Player of the Week. There's no way this is a surprise, but it's still very cool news.
"SEC Offensive Player of the Week," Ole Miss shared on social media.

For the full game, Chambliss completed 33-of-48 passes for 363 yards. He also notched two touchdowns and one interception during the showdown, and let's not forget that he rushed for one touchdown. It was a stellar performance that's truly getting attention in college football.
Ole Miss has now moved up the AP rankings after that win, as they should. They're ranked No. 4, and Chambliss is a big part of why.
