No. 6 Ole Miss will take the same depth chart it had for its first round College Football Playoff game into its Sugar Bowl matchup against No. 3 Georgia.
There were no changes made following the Rebels’ 41-10 victory against No. 11 Tulane last week. In fact, with one exception, the depth chart hasn’t changed at all since Pete Golding was promoted to head coach.
The one exception fixed one of the most egregious, clear-cut signs that a former coach didn’t pay attention to or didn’t care to correct. That was who was listed as the starting quarterback.
Austin Simmons was the starter at the beginning of the season, but Trinidad Chambliss won the job permanently when Simmons was injured. Everyone knew who the starting quarterback, but Simmons was listed as the starter until Ole Miss entered the CFP.
Now, Chambliss is listed as the starter and Simmons in the No. 2 position. Here’s the full depth chart for the Rebels:
