Kevin Kelley’s one and done tenure at Presbyterian College was one of the most memorable seasons in all of college football’s history, with fans recently getting a behind-the-scenes look at all of the drama.

Over the summer, Overtime SZN, one of the most popular YouTube channels for sports coverage, released an exclusive 12part episodic series on Kelley’s first season in Clinton called To TheHouse The channel also covered seasons of the former coach at Pulaski Academy prior to his arrival at PC, where he developed the reputation as “The Coach Who Never Punts.”

Players from the past season such as Jalyn Witcher, Ren Hefley, Evan Murphy, and Kiaran Turner are seen dominantly throughout the series through interview segments in addition to Kelley himself.

For sports fans out there who love documentaries such as HBO’s HardKnocksor Netflix’s LastChanceU I highly recommend checking out Overtime’s series on Kelley. Oftentimes, fans never get to see how the pizza is prepared and cooked to perfection, and the mini documentary provides a larger view on how football teams are constructed each year.

But in this situation, the pizza came out undercooked.

Despite starting 2-0, setting national records on offense, and gaining attention from multiple media outlets, PC finished 2-9 with the Blue Hose going 0-8 in conference play, allowing opponents to earn 53.6 points per game, giving up 2,602 rushing yards total
