Ole Miss delivered a commanding 45-15 dismantling of Auburn on Saturday, marking the program’s largest margin of victory over the Tigers in 77 years. The statistical milestone reached back to 1949, according to historical data noted by sports broadcasters.
The Rebels overwhelmed their opponents on both sides of the ball, accumulating 487 total yards of offense compared to Auburn’s 312. Quarterback Trinidad Chambliss spearheaded the offensive surge, earning praise after completing his afternoon with 263 passing yards and 65 rushing yards. Chambliss secured all three of his touchdowns during the second half, elevating his season statistics to place him among an elite group of collegiate quarterbacks.
According to statistics highlighted following the matchup, Chambliss stands as one of only three Football Bowl Subdivision players this season to record multiple games featuring at least 250 passing yards, 50 rushing yards, and both a passing and rushing touchdown.
Meanwhile, the Ole Miss defensive unit stifled Auburn’s offensive rhythm throughout the contest, registering 10 tackles for loss, five pass breakups, five quarterback hurries, and two forced fumbles. The performance laid bare ongoing rushing difficulties for the Tigers.
Auburn managed just 63 yards on the ground, averaging 2.1 yards per rush. Jeremiah Cobb led the Tigers’ ground effort with 35 rushing yards, while teammate Byrum Brown contributed a rushing touchdown but finished with only 5 net rushing yards after accounting for sacks. The lopsided outcome marked Auburn’s heaviest defeat since a 48-18 loss to LSU during the 2023 season.
