Although we're only in Week 3 of the college football season, it appears there's a strong candidate for play of the year. 

Looking like a mix between sandlot football and Cirque du Soleil, Ole Miss QB Chad Kelly somehow connected with Quincy Adeboyejo on this bizarre 66-yard touchdown toss. The score gave Ole Miss a 24-10 lead over Alabama early in the third quarter.

Later in the third quarter, Kelly scrambled to his right and found a wide-open Cody Core streaking down the sidelines for a 73-yard score. The Ole Miss signal-caller came exceptionally close to crossing the line of scrimmage on the rollout. Alabama corner Marlon Humphrey came up ready to make the tackle, and left Core completely alone. 

The play was reviewed to determine whether Kelly had crossed the line of scrimmage or not, and it was deemed Kelly got the pass off legally. 

Both plays were not only were huge momentum shifts in Ole Miss' favor, but each will be played on a loop in Oxford for the foreseeable future.
