For those of you expecting a Shyamalan twist out of the Ole Miss quarterback race, too bad. To absolutely no one's surprise, Hugh Freeze ended the six-month position battle on Monday by naming Chad Kelly the starter for Saturday's season opener against UT Martin, according to Richard Cross.
Let's be honest, this probably stopped being a competition a while back. Sure, juniors Ryan Buchanan and DeVante Kincade had a two-year head start in learning Freeze's offense, but Kelly, who transferred in from East Mississippi Community College after a rocky stint at Clemson, is just straight up better at throwing a football.
