Summary
A last-second 48-yard field goal from Lucas Carneiro lifted No. 9 Ole Miss past No. 24 Louisville 41-38 after quarterback Trinidad Chambliss said his own bad decisions nearly cost the Rebels the opener.
Chambliss pointed to a rough start that included a botched snap, a lost fumble and an interception, saying he was uncomfortable in the pocket and needed to get used to playing again.
336 passing yards and 4 total touchdowns still came from Chambliss, who finished 21-of-36 through the air and added 60 rushing yards despite the mistakes.
Deuce Alexander gave Ole Miss its biggest spark with 5 catches for 159 yards, including two 62-yard touchdown receptions, drawing praise from Chambliss as one of the country's best receivers.
The narrow escape sends Ole Miss into a Week 2 home game against Charlotte before a Sept. 19 showdown with LSU and former coach Lane Kiffin.
