Chambliss takes over

Chambliss answered with a 10 yard touchdown pass to Caleb Odom late in the first quarter. He hit Horatio Fields for a second touchdown early in the second quarter, then found Caleb Cunningham for a third before halftime. Ole Miss led 21-3 at the break. Missouri reached the 3 yard line in the second quarter and came away empty when Blake Craig missed a 23 yard field goal wide left.

Chambliss finished 16 of 22 for 241 yards and three touchdowns, and added a 5 yard rushing touchdown with 12:44 left in the fourth quarter. Lucas Carneiro closed the scoring with a 38 yard field goal.

Defense does the rest

Kewan Lacy ran for 122 yards on 16 carries despite leaving the game for stretches with an injury, and Makhi Frazier added 101 yards on 15 carries. The Ole Miss defense held Missouri running back Jamal Roberts to 39 yards on 20 carries. Simmons threw for 339 yards on 25 of 44 passing, but with no touchdowns and one interception. Missouri punted on six of its next eight drives after the opening field goal.

What it means
