Through nine games this season, Miles Kelly's 3-point shooting numbers are better than they ever have been in his career.

What's been the key to that efficiency? Look no further than why Kelly chose Auburn in the first place

Miles Kelly came to Auburn to 'play with better players.' Here's how it's paying off
Kelly is shooting 49% from 3 this season, ranking third in the SEC

When asked about Auburn playing other QBs in the second half, Freeze said "I would love for that to happen."

Says he doesn't want to get ahead of himself, but if Auburn has a couple good possessions to start the second half, he'd like to see other guys get snaps
