Ole Miss Throttles Tulane In First-Round Of College Football Playoffs, 41-10

OXFORD, Miss. (AP) — New Mississippi coach Pete Golding spent the last minutes of his high-stakes debut taking in the smiling faces of his players on the sideline.

“To know what they’ve been through, and know the direction that they could have gone,” Golding said, alluding to coach Lane Kiffin’s departure for LSU. “They came here for some guys that looked like they left them, and they were able to battle through that. And for them to get the outcome that they deserve was awesome.”

Trinidad Chambliss ran for two touchdowns and passed for another, and No. 6 Mississippi looked unfazed by Kiffin’s absence, beating No. 17 Tulane 41-10 on Saturday in the first round of the College Football Playoff.

“The juice was there for sure,” Chambliss said. “We executed really well.”
