Offense: Junior college transfer Chad Kelly brought a dual-threat, gun-slinging approach to the Rebels offense, throwing for 3,740 yards with 27 touchdowns and 12 interceptions while adding 427 rushing yards and a team-high 10 scores.

It wasn’t a flawless throw, and the big man had to nimbly adjust his route when the ball was in midair, but it eventually fell into his hands and he jogged untouched 2 yards for the touchdown as the Rebels ended the first half with a stunning exclamation point.
Chad Kelly’s evolution has made Ole Miss’ offense much more risky entering this game.

It was a celebration, a celebration of what those players have done in turning Ole Miss from an afterthought in the SEC to one that competes for SEC titles. “We have worked on that play for a couple of years, and I thought that could be somewhat of a dagger to end the half”.
