Stats show Ole Miss QB Chad Kelly under constant pressure

Ole Miss’ season is off to a less than ideal start, and Rebels fans certainly have a wide range of opinions as to why.
Some will certainly point to QB Chad Kelly’s four interceptions, the most among SEC quarterbacks after three weeks.
While Kelly would certainly like some of those throws back, one reason for his turnovers could be the constant pressure caused by poor pass-protection:

Those pass-protection problems have also resulted in Kelly being sacked seven times. That’s not the most sacks allowed in the SEC (9), but it does put the Rebels in a three-way tie at No. 9, far from the most desired ranking in that category.
