SHREVEPORT, La., Dec. 28 (UPI) -- Jason Ricks' 27-yard field goal with 31 seconds left Thursday gave Oklahoma State a dramatic 34-31 Independence Bowl win over Alabama in Shreveport, La.

It was his second field goal of the contest. He booted a 28-yarder in the second quarter to help the Cowboys take a 24-14 halftime advantage.

Bobby Reid passed for one touchdown and 197 yards, Dantrell Savage ran for one touchdown and 144 yards on 19 carries, and Adarius Bowman caught a touchdown pass for the Cowboys (7-6), who broke a two-game skid in their final game of the year.

John Parker Wilson passed for one touchdown and 167 yards for Alabama. Javier Arenas returned punt 86 yards for a fourth-quarter touchdown, and Andre Smith scored on a short run for the Crimson Tide (6-7), who ended the season with a three-game losing streak.
