No. 9 Ole Miss and Charlotte meet today in a college football game that begins at 6:45 p.m. CT on 2. It is a national TV slot for a ranked team with championship goals, and it puts Trinidad Chambliss back in the spotlight after his first strong showing.
Chambliss is the name that gives Ole Miss its edge going into Charlotte. Last week, he threw for three touchdowns and nearly 350 yards, ran for 60 yards and scored once on the ground, helping the Rebels escape Louisville by three points. That kind of production is why the game is drawing attention now, especially for viewers looking for Charlotte Vs Ole Miss as kickoff nears.
There is also a simple viewing answer for anyone trying to watch without paying full price. DIRECTV and FuboTV are both offering five-day free trials that can be used to stream the game online, while Sling offers a monthly subscription for viewers who prefer a lower-cost option. Because the game is on 2, those choices matter today and not later.
The matchup comes with a built-in edge for Ole Miss, but also with a reminder that the Rebels have not looked untouchable. They reached the College Football Playoff Semifinals last year and lost against Miami, then opened this season with a three-point win that left little room for comfort. Charlotte, meanwhile, is trying to reset after a 1-11 season and a triple overtime loss against The Citadel last week, with Cole Gonzales set to lead the offense after throwing for three touchdowns, 322 yards and two interceptions.
That is what makes tonight more than a routine date on the schedule. Ole Miss has the ranking and the expectation; Charlotte has the chance to turn a long shot into a statement. By 6:45 p.m. CT, the questions will stop being theoretical and become the game itself.
