Chad Kelly has unquestionably been the Rebels best player this season, and when the star quarterback went to the locker room with a knee injury in the third quarter it seemed like the entire stadium collectively held their breath. Kelly wouldn’t return to the field, with redshirt freshman Jason Pellerin taking over at quarterback.
Head coach Hugh Freeze said it was too early to know what the injury was, and the Kelly would get an MRI to find out on Sunday.
“I didn’t see it, because it wasn’t a run play or anything he just, after he stepped and threw it somebody rolled into him,” Freeze said.
