Kelley added a pair of 2-yard scoring runs to five Southeastern Louisiana (6-3, 5-2) a 21-0 lead at halftime.
The Lions intercepted three passed in the second half -- two by Ferlando Jordan -- and Kelley added a 6-yard TD pass to Javon Conner in the third quarter and a 1-yard scoring run in the fourth to cap the scoring.
Central Arkansas, which went into the game averaging 314.4 yards passing, was limited to 193.
The Bears, who entered the weekend ranked No. 6 in the FCS Coaches poll, and Lions are tied with Nicholls and Sam Houston State atop the conference standings.
