No. 5 Ole Miss Rebels and No. 8 Georgia Bulldogs prepare for one of their most anticipated games on their schedule.
In a week brimming with its preparations, there are plenty of things both Lane Kiffin and Kirby Smart consider about each other's rosters.
And out of that, if there is one thing each of them certainly sure about, it is both have extraordinary quarterbacks.
“Yeah, you said it. He’s explosive, right? He’s quick. He’s fast. He’s tough. He’s got great lower body. Great instincts. There’s a difference in being a fast guy and being a runner. He’s patient behind blocks, quick when he needs to be," Smart said about Ole Miss QB Trinidad Chambliss in his press conference on Monday previewing Week 8.
"Some guys can only run perimeter runs well. Some can only run internal well. He runs both. He does a great job in the draw game. He sets up blocks, and he’s a good passer. But I mean, they should get the greatest award there is for finding this guy and having the department within. I don’t know who scouted him, who found him, but he is a really good football player that they went out and got and did a tremendous job."
Nothing but praise for Chambliss. In the same vein, Kiffin also had a ton of praise for Gunner Stockton in his Monday's press conference.
"Savvy. You know, he makes a lot of plays, keeps plays alive. And they’ve done a really good job with him. You know, of winning certain situations and not making bad errors to put them in bad situations. So, they’re a really complete team," Kiffin said.
Two outstanding quarterbacks and two great coaches: Saturday night will be top-tier cinematic showdown.
