Google Glass new enterprise edition offers major improvement
As you can see, it doesn’t look all that different from the divisive originals, but there is one notable difference. There have been rumours of new Google Glass hardware on the way for several months.
The Cowboys hopes’ of staging a comeback were essentially snuffed out when punt returner Jalen McCleskey was stripped by the Rebels’ Terry Caldwell, and Breeland Speaks recovered for Ole Miss at the Oklahoma State 40.
‘Real Housewives of New Jersey’ star to be released from prison: paper
Yes, Teresa’s marriage has reached the point where prison time for her husband has become last, best hope. The tell-all will be called Turning the Tables: From Housewife to Inmate and Back Again .
Making its first appearance in the Sugar Bowl in 46 years, No. 12 Ole Miss delivered a dominating performance in a 48-20 win over No. 16 Oklahoma State.
LeBron, Cavs beat Magic for 13th straight time
Irving, still working his way back from offseason knee surgery, shot just 4 of 12 and missed all four of his 3-point attempts. The Magic will now look to bounce back from this devastating loss on Monday, when they travel to Detroit .
It seemed as if the 16th-ranked Rebels (10-3) used just about all the pages in their playbook in the first 30 minutes, and many of them resulted in long gains.
Ole Miss (No. 12 CFP) wants to prove that it’s one of the better teams in the country following an up-and-down regular season full of impressive wins and head-scratching losses.
“Very talented team. I had mentioned to the group the other day that if you take 15 starters on offense and 15 starters on defense, and I know there’s 11, but you rotate a few in, if you just say there’s 15 on each side of the ball there’s an additional six or eight that play on their special teams”. And they started running trick plays, kind of like what we did previous year in our bowl game. Chad Kelly threw four touchdown passes, including a trio of highlight-reel touchdowns to Laquon Treadwell, Laremy Tunsil ran for a short touchdown on a throwback screen and the Rebel defense shut down Oklahoma State’s attack, which had been high-scoring all season. In addition to the touchdown catch, did a good job of containing outstanding pass rusher Emmanuel Ogbah and gave Kelly enough protection to pick apart the Cowboys defense. They were 10-0 before losing to Baylor and Oklahoma towards the end of the season. The Cowboys followed with a field goal of their own to make it a 27-6 game.
Mason Rudolph was 18 of 31 for 179 yards for Oklahoma State. Ole Miss tied it on a 34-yard Greg Wunderlich field goal.
“I hate to take away from them, but when you get in the game and you get behind by too far and become one-dimensional, for us anyway, it made it hard”, said Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy.
Don’t discount the Ole Miss run game, because it is also quite good.
In the days leading up to Friday’s Allstate Sugar Bowl, most pundits predicted a shootout.
Chad Kelly’s evolution has made Ole Miss’ offense much more unsafe entering this game. With 375 total yards against the Cowboys, Kelly finished the season with 4,542 yards, third in SEC history behind only two seasons from Texas A&M’s Johnny Manziel. He also had 73 yards on the ground. An MVP night like Eli’s dad, Archie, had the last time Ole Miss played in the Sugar Bowl in 1970, and he’ll be in Rebel lore forever. “We felt comfortable with the lead we had at that moment and really thought that could be somewhat of a dagger to end the first half”.
Perhaps not even Kelly, himself, realized the magnitude of his achievements this season until he was in the postgame press conference.
“I ain’t going to lie to you”, Tunsil said.
The Cowboys had a small window to gain an advantage over Ole Miss, but they couldn’t find the end zone.
