Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss is still waiting to find out if he can line up under center again next season for the Ole Miss Rebels. Chambliss applied for eligibility for a fifth and final college season several ago, and as usual, the NCAA is taking its sweet time in answering.
Chambliss was asked about his application for another season of eligibility following the Rebels’ inside the Manning Center on Sunday.

Chambliss, though, has more near-important things on his mind right now. The Rebels play Miami on Thursday night in a national semifinal game from the Fiesta Bowl. Chambliss has been spectacular through the Rebels’ first two playoff wins.

Chambliss offered his general impression on what is an impressive Miami defensive front.
“They got dudes,” he said. “Their front seven…their defensive line…they got dudes up front. They do a lot of stunts and they just bring pressure. They’re just very physical, high-motor defense.”
