Oklahoma State Cowboys vs Ole Miss Rebels Live Stream (Preview): How to Watch Sugar Bowl 2016 Online
This year's Sugar Bowl at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome features two of the most formidable offensive teams – the Ole Miss Rebels and the Oklahoma State Cowboys, with both teams surprising college football experts with their impressive runs this season.
The Cowboys are great when they're playing with both Mason Rudolph and J.W. Walsh, two quarterbacks who carry the load for them. However, Rudolph may be slowed down by an ankle injury, or perhaps he may never play in this one.
For Ole Miss, it's business as usual. The 9-3 Rebels are known for their consistency, having been in this same scenario a year ago. Though they recently lost games to Arkansas and Memphis, they're still a formidable squad heading into the Sugar Bowl.
One thing about the Rebels is that they're a very talented bunch of football players, both in offense and defense. If the Cowboys have a one-two punch of quarterbacks, Ole Miss relies on their star defensive lineman Robert Nkemdiche. But the problem is he's suspended for the upcoming game.
Because of Nkemdiche's suspension, the Cowboys will have a bit of advantage in scoring. So the key to victory in this one might just be defense, or exactly which team can stop the other. The Rebels are ranked higher in terms of defensive efficiency, but a huge part of that is because of one man.
For Oklahoma State to win this one, Rudolph's availability will play a major role. Though both Walsh and Rudolph carry the offense in similar fashion, it's no denying that Rudolph is a more effective passer. So if ever he isn't available, Walsh should be in for a tough outing, unless of course he can work well with receiver James Washington all night long.
In the end, it's about motivation; the question of who wants it more. Both teams are craving for national spotlight and here they are. It's just a matter of showing who the better team is out there with all the pressure.
