The little Rebel had another huge game in the AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic.

Dexter McCluster, Offensive MVP of the 2009 contest, was the unanimous choice for the offensive award again in the 2010 Classic. He is the first two-time MVP since SMU's Doak Walker was honored after the 1948 and 1949 Classics.

McCluster finished with 34 carries for 184 yards and two touchdowns, including an 86-yarder that was the second-longest run in the AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic history. McCluster also caught five passes for 45 yards in a breathtaking performance.
