Good Sunday morning, Rebels. It was a gut-punch in Austin: No. 7 Ole Miss clawed out of a 24-3 hole to tie No. 19 Texas at 24, only to watch the Longhorns pull away late for a 34-27 win. Trinidad Chambliss, Pete Golding and a bruised-but-breathing Rebel squad now turn to Auburn with no margin left. Here’s everything worth reading this morning. Hotty Toddy.

Trinidad Chambliss Takes Responsibility for Loss at Texas
Sun., Oct. 25 · last 24 hours. “I played terrible tonight,” a crushed Chambliss said after going 25-of-52 with three first-half interceptions. He called three first-half points “unacceptable” and took “full responsibility,” while refusing to stay down: “Now we’ve got to win out.” The room for error, he conceded, is smaller now.
