Ole Miss offense prepares for Louisville in season opener

Summary

Ole Miss opens the 2026 college football season against Louisville, bringing a veteran-led attack into the matchup. Quarterback Trinidad Chambliss leads the Rebels after throwing for 30 touchdowns and nearly 4,000 yards last season. He is joined by running back Kewan Lacy, who averaged 114 yards per game and scored 24 times during the 2025 campaign. Offensive coordinator John David Baker, who took over the play-calling duties during last year's College Football Playoffs, remains in the role for the start of this season. While the receiver corps underwent significant changes, Deuce Alexander returns as a primary target alongside newcomers Johntay Cook and Darrell Gill. The Rebels enter the year seeking to build on a 2025 performance that concluded one game shy of a national championship appearance.
