Ole Miss has the chance to pull the biggest quarterfinal upset in the College Football Playoff against Georgia.
Even as the heavy underdogs, Ole Miss's offense could very well put them in a blender. The group's leader, QB Trinidad Chambliss, would be the one Smart should be most concerned about.
Trinidad Chambliss is Georgia's biggest problem
Smart has a roster that can manage a lethal rush attack, and still manage to win the game. So as terrifying as RB Kewan Lacy might look, it's Chambliss they need to be most concerned about.
"Teams just don't beat Georgia running the ball, conventionally. Now, if Trinidad Chambliss goes off, that's a whole other story. Because there's a level of athlete at quarterback in college football, especially if he's got it with his legs and is making the throws, there's not much a college defense can do about it," Josh Pate explained on his podcast.
"I'm talking about the best defense of all time," Pate added, emphasizing how stopping Chambliss would be Schumann's defense's real assignment on New Year's.
The last time they faced him, Chambliss finished off the night with 263 yards passing and a passing touchdown, with two more rushing touchdowns. This being one of his season-lows.
If Chambliss really goes off, he could hang a number on the scoreboard that will leave Georgia clutching at straws to keep pace.
The more Chambliss lights up the scoreboard, the more the pressure mounts for Gunner Stockton to match him blow-for-blow—a recipe for the kind of tension that can lead to a costly mistake.
How Georgia's defense contains Chambliss decides who will get to advance in the CFP bracket.
