Chad Kelly, Sugar Bowl champion quarterback, has had his collegiate career ended by a torn ACL and a torn lateral meniscus. Kelly will undergo season-ending surgery on Monday.
On a play in the third quarter, Chad Kelly was tackled hard by a Georgia Southern defender. After coming up woozy, the staff took Kelly to the locker room to run concussion tests on the quarterback. What came back was far worse.
Kelly reappeared on the sideline in the quarter, but without a helmet. Kelly would not return to the field again. That was the last time Chad Kelly would compete as an Ole Miss Rebel.
