There was one moment in the third quarter against Georgia where we saw Chad Kelly’s over-aggression get the best of him. After extending the play by rolling out right, Ole Miss’ star quarterback pulled up and fired a pass back across the field into triple coverage, the ball skipping off the hands of Georgia defender and landing harmlessly on the turf.
That was the only notable mistake in an otherwise flawless outing from Kelly, who led his team to a redemptive 45-14 beatdown of the No. 12 Bulldogs. His final stat line—18-of-24 for 282 yards and two scores through the air—won’t blow you away, but that’s just three quarters worth of play (he piled up 233 of those yards and both touchdowns in the first two quarters before setting it on cruise control with a 31-0 halftime lead).
