After two games and a spring and summer full of speculation, there is finally a confirmed starter for Ole Miss at the quarterback position.
Junior transfer Chad Kelly has taken the reins of the offense as the first quarterback and performed extremely well, throwing for 557 yards and six touchdowns while completing 72.5 percent of his passes and rushing for 46 yards and two touchdowns over his first two games. Against Fresno State, Kelly became the first SEC quarterback since Johnny Manziel for Texas A&M to score five touchdowns in a single half.
Head coach Hugh Freeze said he’s been confident in Kelly’s ability as the quarterback for some time.
