Roberto Martinez backs Tottenham Hotspur for title challenge
For me it is important how we work as a team to try and defend our wall and our ‘keeper. We are very confident and in football a lot can happen.
The Rebels scored another touchdown heading into halftime to take a 34-6 lead.
Clemson’s going to the National Championship, so Dabo Swinney’s dancing yet again
Alabama is playing for another title after being upset by Ohio State in the semifinals of the inaugural College Football Playoff. Embattled coach Tommy Bowden resigned after six games, and Swinney – who was in charge of receivers – took over as head coach.
I’m really proud of the job our staff did and the leadership of team did in remaining mentally tough and knowing that we have a lot to play for down the stretch, and you know, to finish the season, winning Magnolia Bowl and Egg Bowl and now playing in the Sugar Bowl speaks to that mental toughness and resolve our team showed.
Clemson playing for a title, and for history
The top-ranked Clemson Tigers are going home Orange Bowl champions after a win over the No. 4 Oklahoma Sooners on Thursday. Oklahoma senior center Ty Darlington believed he and his teammates were about to play the game of their lives.
The Rebels were on the dishing-out end of a thrashing this time, beating Oklahoma State 48-20 on Friday night in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
Jake Rudock threw for 278 yards and three touchdowns for MI, which outscored Florida 24-0 in the second half. He became the all-time leader in receptions in school history, passing Chris Collins, and also set a single-season Ole Miss record for receptions, per Hugh Kellenberger of the Clarion-Ledger. Ole Miss was able to get its tempo running game going late in the first and matched that field goal to know things up at three after about 10 minutes.
Friday’s win was truly a spectacle and a fine-looking feather in the cap of a 10-3 season.
After the Rebels’ first two drives, in which quarterback Chad Kelly was picked off on the third play of the game and a then a punt on the second possession, they pressed down on the accelerator and didn’t let up. The Rebels closed the season on a roll, beating LSU and Mississippi State heading into the Sugar Bowl. “The snowmobile started downhill on us in the second quarter and we couldn’t slow them down from big plays on offense, and they started returning trick plays like we did past year in our bowl game”. Threw for over 300 yards and four touchdowns and led the team in rushing to end a terrific season.
I firmly believe that in games like the Sugar Bowl that most bets are off, especially when it comes to rankings and statistical elements apparently being the sole factors in determining ahead of time on which team will prevail. It was Treadwell’s third completion in as many passes this season for a total of 134 yards. Defensive lineman Robert Nkemdiche is suspended for the game. This has no reflection on his talent as he’s a very good prospect, he’s just not on a team that needs him to consistently produce in order to win.
For Oklahoma State to win this one, Rudolph’s availability will play a major role.
“He’s so unsafe”, Brown said, “that if you cover everybody, and even if you keep him in the pocket, he can still run and make athletic plays”.

It was a celebration, a celebration of what those players have done in turning Ole Miss from an afterthought in the SEC to one that competes for SEC titles. On the ground, the Oklahoma State Cowboys average 132.1 yards per game in which Chris Carson tops with 504 yards and four touchdowns.
