Mississippi quarterback Chad Kelly, the nephew of Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly, was involved in a brawl at his brother's high school football game in Buffalo, N.Y.
It happened during a game between his brother's team, St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute, and Bishop Timon-St. Jude High School on Friday night. Buffalo police suspended the game. There have been no reports of arrests.
The scuffle began after Casey Kelly, reportedly took a late hit which prompted brother Chad to run onto the field. Video shows Chad Kelly being restrained on the field by several coaches.
Ole Miss Coach Hugh Freeze told The Associated Press that he talked with Kelly by phone since the game, and that the quarterback was at home with his parents. The Rebels are off this week and don't play again until Oct. 15 at Arkansas.
"From the version I've heard, he didn't do anything to anybody. They were pulling him back because he gets emotional," Freeze said. "I probably would, too, if that were my family."
Freeze said he's isn't planning any discipline for Kelly but is working to gather more details.
"[Chad] understands that he should have handled this difficult situation with his brother differently," Freeze said in a statement. "He has apologized and we will continue to address this when he returns to campus."
Kelly has been in trouble before. In 2014, he was arrested after a bar fight, eventually pleading guilty to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct. The Buffalo native is in his second season at Ole Miss after stops at Clemson and at East Mississippi Junior College.
Going into Saturday's games, Kelly was second in the SEC with 1,596 yards passing this season. He's thrown 13 touchdowns and four interceptions for the 14th-ranked Rebels.
House of Hawkeye
Fitting tribute to Iowa football or Hawk-eyesore? That's what a judge must decide.
Angry neighbors have filed a lawsuit against the Iowa City Board of Adjustment for allowing a couple to proceed with their plan to build a 7,500-square-foot home that will resemble the University of Iowa's Kinnick Stadium.
Cedar Rapids television station KCRG reported that the lawsuit filed Wednesday by the Neighbors of Manville Heights Association requests an injunction to block construction of the home and for the repeal of the city's building permit allowing it.
The house Reed and Sandy Carlson plan to build would look like the Hawkeyes' 87-year-old stadium, complete with brick siding and a replica of the press box.
The association has expressed concern about the home's size, the potential for big parties, as well as drainage, fire safety and traffic issues. But the board said the home met all of the city's guidelines.
