Two Turkish police officers killed in Kurdish southeast
Fighting has been particularly intense in the last two weeks and the military says more than 210 Kurdish militants have been killed.
The second quarter began much like the first ended with Kelly throwing a long touchdown, this time, it was to junior receiver Laquon Treadwell, likely playing in his final game with Ole Miss before declaring for the NFL Draft, and hauled in a 34-yard touchdown in remarkable fashion. The Cowboys didn’t score until backup quarterback J.W. Walsh’s 2-yard TD run late in the third quarter. So it is that the once 10-0 Oklahoma State Cowboys are now 10-2, and find themselves the underdog by a full touchdown against a 9-3 team from the SEC in the Ole Miss Rebels. If Ole Miss can take away their success in the passing game it’s going to be a rough game for the Pokes.

The demolitions occurred across the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, Quds Press reported on Tuesday. It later annexed east Jerusalem in a move never recognised by the worldwide community.
One-sided games were the rule on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. Kelly tossed for 251 yards and three touchdowns in the first half, while Treadwell hauled in a pair of touchdowns to increase the margin.
Mason Rudolph was 18 of 31 for 179 yards for Oklahoma State.
Ole Miss’ defense will be without National Football League bound DT Robert Nkemdiche due to suspension but they have depth including Breeland Speaks who filled in well against Texas A&M which was Nkemdiche’s lone previous absence this season.
The game is being televised on ESPN. That team will never play together again, but if four years from now Ole Miss is continuing to rise in the college football world, the aforementioned players will be what started the change.
4 Of Oklahoma State WR James Washington’s receptions this season have gained at least 70 yards.
Running back Jordan Wilkins rushed for a 36-yard touchdown with 4:26 left in the third quarter to extend the lead to 41-6, giving the Rebels 41 of the previous 44 points scored.
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.
“It became kind of a runaway train for us”, Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said.
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”. “They got to go, you know, from that to winning the Magnolia Bowl and then go to the Sugar Bowl all in one season”. Leading 27-6 with five seconds left in the first half, the Rebels were at the Cowboys’ two yard line. The Rebels will be taking on the Oklahoma State Cowboys at the Superdome for the Allstate Sugar Bowl. He has caught 76 passes for 1,082 yards and eight touchdowns in the 2015 season.
The Rebels kept their feet on the gas in the second half. Kelly completed 21 of 33 passes and ran for 73 yards on 10 carries. “We had a good plan and our guys played really hard”.
“I just look at it as this is going to be the D-line next year, so lets see what I can do and what we can do without 5”, he said. Only Alabama, Florida State, Michigan State, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oregon and Stanford have more 10-win seasons this decade.
