Mizzou's Biggest Worry Is Trinidad Chambliss | Ole Miss-Missouri Crossover

Missouri week got stuck in a 2:30 p.m. SEC Network window, and most of the talk has been about who knows whose playbook. That's the wrong line. Locked On Mizzou says Missouri's real problem is Trinidad Chambliss, whom it ranks among the top two quarterbacks in the country, and its plan is to make Ole Miss one-dimensional by holding Kewan Lacy to 50 rushing yards or fewer. Ole Miss has scored touchdowns on 18 of 20 red zone trips, per the Ole Miss game notes, so settling for field goals is not something this offense does.

Two days to Missouri. Nine to Texas.

Steven Willis and Locked On Mizzou take both sides of Saturday: why this isn't a revenge game, how Pete Golding's defense can speed up Austin Simmons, the Missouri pass rush and linebackers Ole Miss has to beat, and why Missouri keeps finding running backs. Then the question both sides agree on: whoever loses Saturday may be out of the playoff race.

📌 THREE THINGS

1. It's not a revenge game, but the stakes are real. Steven says Austin Simmons, Cayden Lee and Chris Graves Jr. left with "the professionalism that they showed," and "this isn't LSU." Locked On Mizzou agrees the hard feelings mostly live online. The real stakes: whoever leaves Oxford with a second loss still has Georgia ahead, which is why Steven calls it "a playoff elimination game."

2. Simmons has 14 TD passes and one interception, per the Ole Miss game notes, and Locked On Mizzou says he has fixed last year's weakside safety blind spot. Steven's plan is to "speed Austin up" with pressure at the mesh point and lost-yardage plays that create third-and-long. What won't work: "You cannot sit back and rush 3, drop 8, and just let him pick out holes in the zone."

3. Locked On Mizzou calls Chambliss "1 or 1A, 1B" among the best quarterbacks in the country. It expects Missouri to give up 300 passing yards but hold Kewan Lacy to 50 or fewer, and calls it Missouri 28, Ole Miss 24. Steven's counter is the red zone: 18 touchdowns on 20 trips, plus a kicker in range once Ole Miss crosses the 40.
