Chad Kelly's big game against Alabama proves that he's the real deal

Three games into the season, Swag looks fully capable of steering Ole Miss into uncharted waters.

Imagine for a moment the uncanny focus needed to drown out 100,000 rabid Alabama fans who would just as well see you drawn, quartered, and thrown to the wolves. Imagine, if you can, unworldly decibels screaming into your ears and brain and chest cavity, rending you apart from within. Imagine now 10 of your comrades -- breathless, drenched, and exhausted -- looking to you for truth and safe passage from this Hell of Tuscaloosa.

This is the earth that Chad Kelly walked on Saturday night, unafraid and calm and awesome.
