A saying commonly attributed to legendary football coach Knute Rockne goes, “When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.”

That saying definitely applies to Ole Miss QB Chad Kelly, who has his best games against the Rebels’ top opponents:

Kelly’s passing touchdowns and 20-yard completions rank No. 1 among all FBS quarterbacks when playing top-25 foes.

He’ll need to continue that success on Saturday if the Rebels are going to travel to Fayetteville and take down the No. 22 Arkansas Razorbacks.

Kelly has thrown for 1,596 yards and 13 touchdowns already this season.
