Trinidad Chambliss threw for a touchdown and ran for another Saturday night as No. 7 Ole Miss stopped visiting South Carolina 30-14 in Oxford, Miss.

Chambliss connected on 12 of 21 passes for 159 yards and an interception while adding another 59 yards on 15 carries. Running back Kewan Lacy tacked on 167 yards, plus the game-sealing touchdown run, on 24 carries.

Defensively, the Rebels (8-1, 5-1 Southeastern Conference) limited the Gamecocks (3-6, 1-6) to 230 total yards and collected six sacks while forcing three turnovers. South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers hit on 16 of 30 passes for 180 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions as the Gamecocks lost for the sixth time in seven games.

Sellers found Nyck Harbor for a 47-yard scoring strike just 3 1/2 minutes into the third quarter, pulling South Carolina within 17-14. But the Gamecocks couldn't score again, and Ole Miss slowly pulled away.

Lucas Carneiro converted 27- and 34-yard field goals to push the lead to nine. Lacy broke the game open with a 54-yard touchdown run with 5:44 left, one play after Sellers was sacked for the sixth time by Da'Shawn Womack.

Sellers cashed in a 16-yard field on a 1-yard scoring run at the 9:13 mark of the first quarter to initiate the scoring. It came four plays after Harrison Wallace muffed a punt that Maurice Brown recovered.

The Rebels controlled most of the half's remainder, getting on the board when Carneiro hit a 21-yard field goal with 3:56 left in the first. They took the lead for good via Chambliss' 8-yard touchdown pass to Dae'Quan Wright, two plays after the Gamecocks failed on a fourth-and-1 play from the Ole Miss 46 when Matt Fuller lost three yards.

On their next possession, the Rebels ripped off their best drive of the night, an 89-yarder that saw Lacy carry the load. He ran on the first four plays for 48 yards, including a 29-yard gain, and Chambliss finished it off with a 15-yard keeper 6:56 before the half for a 17-7 advantage.
