Ole Miss takes out frustrations on Oklahoma State

Just two plays later, the 10-yard play ensued, capping an 85-yard drive to extend the Rebels’ advantage to 24-3.

The win gave Ole Miss its first 10-win season since 2004.

Without Robert Nkemdiche, who is suspended for Friday’s 7:30 p.m. game on ESPN, several Rebels will see drastically increased roles along Ole Miss’ line. Given how Alabama and Clemson seemed to handle Michigan State and Oklahoma, respectively, it was pretty easy to make a case that Stanford should have been in the mix. Grogan added a 31-yard field goal with 1:22 left in the first half, but that only made the score 27-6.

Treadwell’s six-catch, 71-yard showing in the Sugar Bowl also saw him move up the ranks among the best receivers in program history. “(I was) raised in this state and know what the Sugar Bowl means to the SEC”. After the opening field goal by Oklahoma State, the Ole Miss offense became the story of the night, as the Rebels scored 34 points in the first half en route to a 34-6 halftime lead. Even without Nkemdiche, the athletic Rebels defense mostly shut the Cowboys down.

Kevin Hogan passed for 223 yards and three TDs in his final game for the Cardinal (12-2), who won the Rose Bowl for the second time in three trips over the past four years. Teammates mobbed him in celebration in the end zone, and the Rebels received an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that was assessed on the second-half kickoff.

McCaffrey was this season’s best all-around player in college football, and he accomplished something no other player had done since the 2010 season by scoring a touchdown with a pass, a run, a reception, a punt return and a kickoff return.

The Pokes got their first touchdown in the game with 1:11 left in the third when J.W. Walsh ran in from two yards out to make it a 41-3 game.

Oklahoma State struggled on both sides of the ball in a 48-20 loss in the Sugar Bowl on Friday night, with perhaps the low moment coming when the defense was completely fooled on a trick play that produced a touchdown by an offensive lineman catching a backward pass.

After last year’s capitulation in the Peach Bowl, this year’s Sugar Bowl victory serves as a redemption for Ole Miss and could act as a springboard heading into the 2016 season. But it was played and it offers yet further proof of the disparity between good and decent teams in College Football. He completed 21 of 33 passes for 302 yards, four touchdowns and an interception.

“We got a little winded”, Freeze said. Unfortunately for Ole Miss, their loss also is a big deal on the field as both players are integral to the team’s defense.

The Cowboys were in the middle of the college football playoff discussion after winning their first 10 games, but back-to-back losses to Baylor and Oklahoma in the final two weeks of the season knocked them back to the Sugar Bowl. He’s caught a pass in every game that he’s played for the Rebels.

During the postgame ceremony at which Kelly was given the Most Valuable Player trophy, he led the Ole Miss fans in a loud chant of “one more year”.
