Does Shea beat Chad Kelly’s single game record?

Currently, Chad Kelly holds the most passing yards in a single game against Auburn in 2016. An impressive total of 465 yards. This will be a tough one for Shea and Co to surpass, especially with Evan Engram no longer being in Oxford.

But with AJ Brown, DK Metcalf and Van Jefferson, there are still plenty of bodies that can go up and then get the valuable YAC.

As well as the talent, I believe Coach Phil Longo‘s air-raid offense will make this more of a when will it happen not can it happen.

My guess? The Rebels will have a shootout with Cal come the third week of the season, I believe this is when Shea will have the best opportunity to break the record.
