Late scores give Ole Miss win over Oklahoma StateNCAA Football Betting Lines01/02/2010 - Arlington, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dexter McCluster scored twice and had the go- ahead touchdown late in the fourth quarter as Ole Miss took a 21-7 win over 21st-ranked Oklahoma State in the Cotton Bowl. McCluster carried the ball 34 times, a Cotton Bowl record, for 185 yards while Jevan Snead went 13-for-23 with 168 yards and three interceptions for the Rebels (9-4), who won this event for the second straight year after downing Texas Tech, 47-34, last year. Shay Hodge finished the game with seven catches for 112 yards while Patrick Trahan had a fumble return for a touchdown for Ole Miss, which is 8-1 in its last nine bowl games and improved to 21-12, overall. Zac Robinson was picked off four times and also fumbled the ball as he was 13-for-31 with 118 yards for the Cowboys (9-4), who fell to 12-8 in bowl games. Keith Toston threw the only score of the game for Oklahoma State, to Wilson Youman. Ole Miss took the lead with 4:03 to play. After recovering a Robinson fumble at the Oklahoma State 34, Lionel Breaux caught a pass for eight yards and, after a one-yard loss, Snead took the ball eight yards to the 19-yard line. A McCluster three-yard carry was followed on a pass interference call to make it 1st-and-goal at the two and McCluster stretched the ball over the pylon for a 14-7 lead. The Rebels then sealed the win on a defensive score as Hubert Anyiam fumbled the ball after a catch and Trahan took it 34 yards into the end zone for a 21-7 lead with 3:12 to play to seal the victory. After an exchange of punts to start the game, Ole Miss went on a long drive to get into scoring position, but came away empty. A 22-yard catch by Hodge gave the Rebels a 1st-and-goal at the seven. Rushes of one yard and five yards from McCluster got the ball to the one-yard line. Ole Miss then brought in 340-pound defensive tackle Jerrell Powe to punch the ball in, but he was stuffed on third and fourth down to give Oklahoma State the ball back. Ole Miss, though, did put the ball into the end zone in the second quarter. On the first play of the drive with the ball at the Ole Miss 14, McCluster took a handoff around the right end and sped his way to paydirt for a 7-0 lead with 11:19 left in the first half. Midway through the third quarter, Andre Sexton picked off Nathan Stanley to give OSU the ball at the Ole Miss 12. With a 3rd-and-goal at the one, Toston took the snap and started to run, but stopped at the line of scrimmage and made a jump pass to Youman to tie the game with 7:13 left in the third. Game Notes In the game, McCluster became the first player in SEC history with 1,000 yards rushing and 500 yards receiving in the same season...There were a total of 12 turnovers in the game, seven from Oklahoma State...The only previous meeting between Oklahoma State and Ole Miss took place in the 2004 Cotton Bowl, and Eli Manning led the Rebels to a 31-28 victory in that contest.

Police report: Terrell Owens hospitalized after attemptTerrell Owens will address the media at a 3:15 p.m. ET news conference outside the Cowboys' practice facility after an internal police report indicated he tried to kill himself by overdosing on prescription pain medication, even putting two more pills into his mouth after a friend intervened. The Dallas police report said Owens was asked by rescue workers "if he was attempting to harm himself, at which time [he] stated, 'Yes.'" Owens left the hospital late Wednesday morning, giving reporters a "thumbs up" but making no comment as he was driven away in an SUV. Michael Irvin said that Owens denied he attempted suicide and said he was rushed to the hospital as a result of an adverse reaction to medication. And a source close to Owens told Michael A. Smith that Owens wasn't attempting suicide. NFL Network analyst Deion Sanders said he spoke with Owens shortly before his release from the hospital and that Owens was in good spirits. "The fact that it has been reported a suicide attempt, he's laughed at that notion. It was a case that medication that was taken wasn't accepted well in his system with the other vitamins he's on," Sanders said. The series of events began a little before 8 p.m. Tuesday. Owens' publicist, Kim Etheredge, said she was at Owens' home when he took pain medicine for his broken right hand. Concerned by how he began acting, Etheredge said in various interviews Wednesday with Dallas-area media that she called 911. Owens was taken to a hospital, with Etheredge saying it was an allergic reaction to the medicine. But early Wednesday, several media outlets received a police report -- that had yet to be released by the authorities -- saying Owens had attempted suicide by overdosing on the painkillers, even putting two more pills into his mouth after an unidentified friend intervened. The police document, first reported by WFAA-TV, said Owens was asked by rescue workers "if he was attempting to harm himself, at which time [he] stated, 'Yes.'" When officially released by police, about half the document was blacked out, including the phrases "attempting suicide by prescription pain medication" and "a drug overdose," as well as the details of Owens having two pills pried from his mouth and Owens saying "Yes" when asked if he intended to harm himself. Etheredge, who said she was the friend cited in the police document, told Dallas-area media Wednesday that the police got the story wrong. The tape of the 911 call could help clear things up. The Associated Press filed a request under the Freedom of Information Act to get its contents, but fire department officials said it would not be available before late Wednesday. The police report said the 32-year-old Owens told his friend "that he was depressed." Details of the police report were first reported by WFAA-TV. The friend, who is not identified in the report, "noticed that [his] prescription pain medication was empty and observed [Owens] putting two pills in his mouth," the police report said. Using her fingers, the friend attempted to pry them out of Owens' mouth. Owens told police he had taken only five of the 40 pain pills in the bottle he'd emptied before the incident. Etheredge told the Star-Telegram that Owens was "fine." Etheredge said she called 911 because Owens was groggy and lethargic. After taking some supplements "it kicked in a reaction" with the painkillers, she told the Star-Telegram. "Here's a person whose body is so clean, it really had a negative reaction to the medication and supplements he was taking," Etheridge told The Morning News. "Thank goodness someone was there to call an ambulance." Police Lt. Rick Watson said he could only confirm that paramedics called police to say they were taking Owens to the hospital. He said no more details would come from the police because no laws were broken. It is not a crime in Texas for a person to attempt suicide. "This is a high-profile person. We looked into it and we determined it is not a criminal offense," Watson said. "This a medical type of situation that occurred." Watson and fire department spokesman Joel Lavender cited privacy laws for the lack of information they could provide. Lavender said more details could come from the 911 call. The Associated Press filed a request under the Freedom of Information Act to get the contents of the call. "Let's just look at the tape, review the tape," Lavender said. "I'll give you an honest answer once I know something." At the police news conference, Watson released a version of the police narrative with certain sections blacked out. The full report was obtained by several news outlets and reported first by WFAA. The AP received the full version from WFAA. According to the police report, Dallas Fire and Rescue was called regarding someone "attempting suicide by prescription pain medication." Officers arrived to find Owens being stabilized by ambulance workers, who then took him to Baylor University Medical Center. Owens was hospitalized late Tuesday because of what his publicist said was an allergic reaction to pain medicine he was taking for a broken hand. Doctors reportedly tried to induce vomiting. Owens, one of the league's top receivers during his 11-year NFL career, is best known for wild stunts on the field and other publicity-seeking antics off it. When the Cowboys signed him to a $25 million, three-year deal in March, they said their background checks indicated no red flags. In fact, team consultant Calvin Hill -- who mostly deals with troubled players -- said during training camp that his department was not involved with Owens because he didn't have a history of those kinds of problems. He missed most of training camp, and three of four preseason games, because of a hamstring injury. He was late for work during his recovery and was fined for it, but Owens laughed it off, saying he overslept. He said it had happened before, though not with Dallas, and would probably happen again. Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger during a game a week ago Sunday. The next day, doctors screwed in a plate so the bone could heal without fear of further damage. Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said last week that the pain medicine made Owens ill. Owens had not practiced since the injury, but because Dallas had a bye this past weekend he did not miss a game. He was expected to practice Wednesday, and Parcells had said there was a chance Owens could play Sunday against Tennessee. Owens had been especially looking forward to the Cowboys' game after that -- Oct. 8, in Philadelphia, against the team that dumped him midway through last season only months after he helped them nearly win the Super Bowl. Owens was seen laughing and joking on the practice field Tuesday morning. He chatted briefly with reporters in the locker room in the afternoon and seemed fine. A 2-inch scar on the top of his hand was puffy but not wrapped, and he said the swelling was doing down. While in the locker room, he took a pill from a white paper bag and looked at another medicine bottle that was in the bag. He also called a business partner about a towel-wrap venture they're starting and joked to TV cameras that he wasn't talking until Wednesday and it was only Tuesday. "My little boy knows better than that," he said, laughing, as he plopped onto a sofa in the middle of the locker room. Also Tuesday, Owens was involved in launching a national campaign for the National Alliance to End Abuse, an organization aimed at helping at-risk youngsters. He appeared at a high school Tuesday morning and was scheduled to visit others but had to cancel because of changes in the team's practice schedule. Owens has played two games for the Cowboys, catching nine passes for 99 yards and a touchdown.
