Trinidad Chambliss passed for 333 yards and three touchdowns, Kewan Lacy rushed for three touchdowns and No. 6 Ole Miss trounced The Citadel 49-0 in a nonconference game Saturday afternoon in Oxford, Miss.

Lacy ran for just 49 yards, but scored all of his touchdowns as the Rebels (9-1, 5-1 SEC) rolled to a 35-0 halftime lead against the outmanned Bulldogs (4-6, 3-3 in the FCS Southern Conference).

Chambliss completed 29 of 33 passes, while the Ole Miss defense allowed just 106 yards. The Citadel threw only eight passes, completing three for 23 yards.

On Ole Miss' first play of the second half, Chambliss threw a 40-yard completion to Caleb Odom, and four plays later they teamed on a 1-yard touchdown pass that increased the lead to 42-0.

The score remained unchanged at the end of the third quarter after the Bulldogs drove to the Rebels' 11. On fourth-and-1, Javante Graves-Billips was stopped for a 4-yard loss.

On the third play of the fourth quarter, Mikey Rosa intercepted Austin Wallace, who replaced Chambliss, and returned to the Ole Miss 17, but the threat ended when Jack Weil was wide left on a 32-yard field-goal attempt.

Damien Taylor's 1-yard touchdown run completed the scoring. Simmons completed 7 of 12 passes for 100 yards and an interception.

Ole Miss received the opening kickoff and drove 87 yards in 10 plays, the last of which was a 2-yard touchdown run by Lacy. The Rebels' second possession was similar as they drove 77 yards in nine plays, culminating in a 15-yard touchdown run by Lacy that produced a 14-0 lead.

On Ole Miss' next possession, The Citadel stopped Lacy for a 2-yard loss on fourth and 1 from the Ole Miss 32, but Weil was wide right on a 46-yard field-goal attempt.

Three plays later, Chambliss threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Winston Watkins for a 21-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.

Chambliss threw a 22-yard scoring pass to Cayden Lee and Lacy ran 3 yards for a touchdown that expanded the Rebels' lead to 35-0 at halftime.
