Chandler seized the opportunity with a shakeup in the depth chart for his first career start against Malone, accounting for over 350 yards of total offensive and four passing touchdowns.
Chandler completed 25 of his 32 pass attempts on the day and calmly controlled the huddle to lead his team on a 10-play, 75-yard drive to end the game. His game-winning touchdown pass to Zack Lake from nine yards out was made with 11 seconds left in regulation.
The redshirt freshman also connected with Lake in the first quarter before linking up with Maurice Thomas and Jermaine Wynn on big plays of 52 and 47 yards, both before halftime.
Chandler was responsible for 319 yards through the air and gained 37 more on the ground.
