Ole Miss football's Trinidad Chambliss gets ‘absolute weapon' moniker after Rebels' close call vs. Louisville

After Ole Miss football's close call victory against Louisville in Week 1, Trinidad Chambliss is called a "weapon" by this former player. As the Ole Miss football program barely escaped Louisville with a 41-38 win on Sunday night, the team was led by star quarterback Trinidad Chambliss, who started the season with an impressive performance. With Chambliss thriving with the Ole Miss football team, Pat McAfee would sing the praises of the quarterback, giving him a moniker that not a lot of players in the nation get. Speaking about the Rebels' win on his self-titled show, he would call Chambliss a 'weapon,' as he threw for 336 yards to go along with three touchdowns and one interception. 'I mean, Trinidad Chambers, cannon, absolute cannon, fun to watch. Unbelievable bucket, bucket shot. There was another one for the field goal where he puts it on a line for like 35 yards. If you fell asleep, you missed an electrifying finish to Ole Miss-Louisville.' 'He's a weapon,' McAfee continued. 'He was at Ferris State. Okay, so Ferris State, obviously, he won the Heisman for [Division II]…He plays great in big moments; he has an incredible arm. He can move. But if you look at just strictly what Lane Kiffin and Charlie Weis Jr. were able to do with Trinidad Chambliss in Ole Miss, and I'm not saying that Trinidad wasn't his own talent. Everything. Trinidad Chambliss is an ABSOLUTE WEAPON.. That was a GREAT kick Lucas Carneiro to win it for Ole Miss #PMSLive pic.twitter.com/35tAEIA2u6 — Pat McAfee (@PatMcAfeeShow) September 7, 2026 Article Continues Below Pete Golding on Ole Miss football learning from their mistakes Chambliss is coming off of a productive 2025 campaign with the Ole Miss football program, mostly under former head coach Lane Kiffin, throwing for 3,937 yards with 22 touchdowns and three interceptions. Now under Pete Golding, there are a lot of expectations, and while a win is a win, the coach would emphasize to the entire team that they need to learn from their mistakes after squeaking by the Cardinals on Sunday. 'It's good to get out here with a win,' Golding said, according to Pete Nakos of On3 Sports. 'But if we don't come into this tape with an open mind and learn from the mistakes, it's going to take a loss to do it.' Chambliss and the Rebels look to carry the momentum into Week 2 and improve against the Charlotte 49ers on Saturday.
