Hate that Chad Kelly is done for the year. Worked hard and done well since arriving at Ole Miss. He'll get another chance at the next level.

One of worst parts of coaching is seniors having season ending injuries. So thankful for how Chad & Youngblood competed and lead our program

Chad Kelly tore his ACL and lateral meniscus on Saturday. Out for the year.
Hard to overstate how much that loss means.

Even though I'm a State fan I hated hearing Chad Kelly tore his ACL! Going through 2 rounds of a torn ACL myself, it's awful for me to hear!

There's no small chance A&M will feel so sorry for Chad Kelly they don't show up either as a support of solidarity.
