Auburn vs Ole Miss: Q&A with Red Cup Rebellion
Let's talk to our counterparts at the Ole Miss blog.You can read my answers to their questions here.
1) Ole Miss went into this season with a bit of a QB race, but Chad Kelly has rightly cemented his place as the starter by now. What does he do in particular that gives him the edge?
There was a quarterback race, but it seemed to be pretty much decided throughout the entirety of Fall camp that Chad Kelly was the guy. He just has excellent arm strength and solid accuracy, particularly on the deep ball. The other options at the position were a bit flawed: one seemed unable to push the ball downfield, and the other apparently simply cannot wrap his head around the offensive playbook.
