Ole Miss QB Chad Kelly went back home to Buffalo to watch his brother play in a high school football game on Friday night, but things did not all go well. In fact, Kelly got involved in a brawl at the game, which led to the contest being suspended.
The game was between Bishop Timon and St. Joe’s, and it started off innocently enough.

Before long, there were reports of a “huge brawl” at the game after Chad’s brother, Casey, was hit late. Chad ran onto the field, according to News 4 Buffalo’s Tom Martin.
HUGE brawl just now at Timon/Joes. Casey Kelly hit late out of bounds, benches clear… Chad Kelly ran onto field and had to be restrained.

For context, fight started literally on top of Chad’s brother, Casey, who took late hit. Chad was on the field after shoving escalated.

Kelly is known for having a temper — as evidenced by this crazy arrest — so seeing him get fired up over a late hit against his brother is not a surprise.
Ole Miss has the week off after their victory over Memphis last weekend, which made the Rebels 3-2. They face Arkansas on Oct. 15.
