Ole Miss Football’s Surprising Rise: Can They Silently Shock the Nation This Season?
- Ball security: Chambliss has tossed interceptions on 0.8% of his throws (or, a total of one pick), while Simmons threw picks on 7.1% of his throws before going down (four picks in two weeks). Perhaps Chambliss has been a bit lucky and Simmons a bit unlucky: Opta data charts Chambliss at a 1.6% pickable pass rate and Simmons at 3.6%. But that’s still a substantial gap.
- Legs: Simmons is a mobile QB, but not like Chambliss, who ran for 1,000 yards at Ferris State and has averaged 4.8 yards on 48 designed carries this year.
Despite any downfield throwing limitations Chambliss might have, Ole Miss has been able to make do. Chambliss has converted on 46.4% of third-down attempts when throwing, well ahead of the 41% national average.
