After a sluggish start, the Rebels asserted themselves and ended their three game losing streak with a win over the Georgia Southern Eagles.

The win, however, came at a price, as quarterback Chad Kelly was injured, tearing his ACL and meniscus, and will miss the rest of the 2016 season. The Rebels now will most likely start redshirt freshman Jason Pellerin, who will be backed up by Shea Patterson, whom Freeze has to decide whether or not to pull his redshirt. The Rebel defense was better than it has been, but it was also against a less talented team, against Texas A&M the defense will have to be better than it has been all season as the Rebels do not want to put the game all on the shoulders of Pellerin.

Next game: November 12, at Texas A&M, 7:30pm ET SEC Network
