Yes Bama 1959 he was playing Bama and yes he was playing FSU. The thing is he needs self discipline and modesty. In other words he needs to realize his own limitations and play within them. He has a year under his belt now as a SEC starter and he should have learned by now there are times to just go down and live for another play. Most of the Ole Miss implosions can be traced to his doorstep. If he were playing for Saban he would not be playing until he either learned modesty or was half killed by Saban running the bleachers or transferred once again. Ole Miss could have easily won that game without all his mess ups. You taped it so go back and look at the turning points he provided Bama. Still it was a heck of a game.

Kelly played his arse off and gave us a chance to win. While I think he held the ball too long on the fumble, I couldn't find much else he did wrong. That interception was because he got hit and Allen made a heads up play. The most impressive thing about Kelly for me was after the game when he took the blame for the loss. He could have easily blamed his offensive line getting owned, the terrible running game, or our pathetic linebacker and special teams play, but he said it was his fault. He has shown a lot of maturity and leadership in his 2 years with Ole Miss and has been a model teammate from what the coaches and players say. I was not happy about Freeze taking him last year but Kelly definitely proved me wrong.
That being said, I am not too excited about facing Hurts the next 3 years. That kid was down 21 points on the road in his first SEC game and he never looked nervous. Stayed within the system, didn't try to force anything and led his team to a comeback win. His attitude reminds me a lot of Eli. He doesn't seem to get too high or too down on himself and you would never know if he threw a TD or an interception based on his reactions. This kid is going to be something special.

There aren't many perfect games in the universe to be had. Sure, he could have avoided the one on the goal line but how many of the completed throws would he have made if he was worried about getting hit/tackled? Freeze asked him to be Tom Brady that day. But, he's just the best SEC QB. There's a difference.

He's doing what Freeze asks him to do, which is probably way too much. Ole Miss would have been destroyed without Kelly's performance. He made play after play with little help from the running game or Ole Miss's defense and special teams. Sure he had a couple of turnovers, but Alabama's defense is actually pretty decent and is going to get you from time to time. Kelly looked like the best offensive player on the field for either team.
