Oklahoma State Vs Ole Miss

It wasn’t a ideal throw, and the big man had to nimbly adjust his route when the ball was in midair, but it eventually fell into his hands and he jogged untouched 2 yards for the touchdown as the Rebels ended the first half with a stunning exclamation point.

Wilkins opened the second half with a 36-yard touchdown run as the Rebels continued to pound the Oklahoma State defense that was exposed against Kelly, Treadwell and the Ole Miss attack.

With the 82nd annual Allstate Sugar Bowl only three days away, the Ole Miss Rebels spent Tuesday continuing their preparations to oppose the Oklahoma State Cowboys on New Year’s Day.

Joshua Dobbs threw for 166 yards and ran for two touchdowns, helping the Volunteers cap their best season in eight years with a rout of the Wildcats in the Outback Bowl at Tampa, Fla.

“I think we just executed better and played at a higher intensity and jumped on them early”, Treadwell said.

Grade: The game wasn’t very good, and it certainly wasn’t close, but at least it included its fair share of trick plays to keep us all entertained.

Three of Kelly’s touchdown passes went to receiver Laquon Treadwell, who set the Ole Miss career record for receptions with 202.

Overall, the Most Valuable Player was 21-of-33 for 302 yards and four touchdowns, and he rushed 10 times for 73 yards. The Cowboys finished the regular season with 10 victories, the only two defeats came in the last two games of the season to Baylor and Oklahoma.

The Ole Miss offense was incredible, racking up 554 total yards, 347 of those yards through the air. “I’m anxious to get out there and see what we can do against them”. “I don’t watch a lot of football on the West Coast and the East Coast, but man for man they could be as talented as a team as anybody in the country”. “(I was) raised in this state and know what the Sugar Bowl means to the SEC”. The Rebels would also like to show that last year’s embarrassing Peach Bowl trip — a 42-3 loss to TCU — was a fluke.

After both teams traded punts and Oklahoma State got a field goal, the Rebels settled in and dominated after falling down 3-0 in the first quarter. The Cowboys followed with a field goal of their own to make it a 27-6 game.

That was the end of the good news for the Cowboys, who were playing in the Sugar Bowl for the first time since 1946. Ole Miss also has a school-record 6,177 yards of total offense in 2015.

Without suspended star defensive tackle Robert Nkemdiche, Ole Miss (10-3) allowed just 63 rushing yards and led 34-6 at the half. “You have to learn from the past – that ties into the World War II Museum”, he said.

Perhaps not even Kelly, himself, realized the magnitude of his achievements this season until he was in the postgame press conference.

“To be honest, I feel like the whole process felt different”, he said. Ole Miss has a 23-13 bowl record for a. 639 winning percentage. Without him, Oklahoma State is a clear underdog, and the game might hinge on Rudolph’s availability and health.

It was a celebration of players such as seniors Trae Elston, Channing Ward, and Mike Hilton who could have played college football elsewhere after Ole Miss’ 2-10 season in 2011, but chose to join Hugh Freeze and build something from the ground up in Oxford.
