After a bounce that didn't go their way against Arkansas, the Rebels knew tonight was a must-win situation. No. 22 Ole Miss knocked off rival No. 15 LSU 38-17 in a top-25 matchup to stay in contention to win the SEC West.
Quarterback Chad Kelly continues to play elite football, hitting his receivers and fighting for yards on the ground. The signal caller eclipsed Eli Manning's record for total touchdowns in a single season. Kelly threw for two touchdowns and added a pair on the ground.
"Kelly has done really well all year," said Rebel head coach Hugh Freeze.
