I mentioned during the Alabama game that Ole Miss was going to have to have great games from its best players to win.
Well, the Rebels’ biggest players turned out big.
Chad Kelly had 341 yards passing, 305 and three touchdowns in the second half after he admittedly started reacting more and thinking less.
It’s kind of hard to argue with Leonard Fournette as SEC offensive player of the week. He rushed for 228 yards and three touchdowns on 19 carries as LSU throttled struggling Auburn in Baton Rouge.
Kelly would have been just as good a choice given the stage and circumstances with just the third start of his career, the first on the road and first in that type of environment.
