Kelly out for season with torn ACL State
ballots will have seven candidates for president
BRIAN SCOTT RIPPEE thedmsports@gmail.com
The hits keep on coming for Ole Miss this season. The school announced in a statement on Sunday that senior quarterback Chad Kelly will miss the remainder of the season due to a torn ACL and lateral meniscus. Kelly will undergo season-ending surgery this week. Kelly was injured in the third quarter of Saturday's 37-27 victory against Georgia Southern when a defender rolled under him while he was attempting to make a throw. Kelly went into the locker room briefly and returned to the sideline but did not re-enter the game. He had an MRI Sunday. Jason Pellerin played quarterback for the remainder of the game. Shea Patterson is the only other scholarship quarterback on the roster, but Freeze and his staff intend to redshirt him. It is the latest, and perhaps most devastating, loss to an Ole Miss team that has dealt with a number of injuries this season. Kelly leads the SEC in passing yards and completions. He has posted a 14-8 record in 22 starts at Ole Miss and led the Rebels to a 10-3 mark a year ago, culminating in a Sugar Bowl win against Oklahoma State. Ole Miss travels to College Station on Saturday to play Texas A&M.

ississippi voters will have seven choices for president on their ballots this Tuesday. Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump lead the pack, but five other candidates are still vying for votes. The Libertarian Party, Green Party, Constitution Party of the U.S., Reform Party and Prohibition Party are on the presidential ballot in Mississippi. The Libertarian Party is on the ballot in all 50 states, the Green Party is on the ballot in 45 states and the Constitution Party of the U.S. is on 24 state ballots. The Reform Party is on 20 ballots and the Prohibition Party is on three state ballots. Democrats and Republicans are the two largest and oldest political parties in the country. Despite this establishment, some voters say they would consider voting for a third-party candidate. “Yes, I would if that candidate had beliefs and stances on certain issues that aligned more with my personal beliefs,” Hannah Miceli, a junior forensic chemistry major, said. Some voters are unaware of the five alternative candidates’ platforms or even their names. Senior mathematics major Amy Clark said she doesn’t know anything about candidates other than Clinton or Trump. “It’s kind of one of those things where it’s third-party. I don’t think they’re going to get enough of the popular vote to even be able to debate next year,” Clark said. Former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson is the Libertarian Party’s candidate for president in 2016 and was in 2012 as well. His running mate is former Gov. Bill Weld of Massachusetts.
