Police say more officers will be on hand this year than the 1,600 deployed for last year’s bash. Fireworks also will be on display in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the country of seven emirates.
WFAA/Channel 8 in Dallas tweeted a copy of the police report that said the group with Boykin told police they would walk him back to the team hotel, but that he became aggressive when other officers arrived and was “charging” them, then was taken to the ground, “where the fight continued”.

A member of Clemson’s punt team all year, he ran down the left sideline and caught a 31-yard pass from punter Andy Teasdall. Some would say that like Alabama , Oklahoma hasn’t played a quarterback as good as the one they will on Thursday in Watson.
TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin has been suspended from Saturday’s Alamo Bowl, according to TCU head coach Garry Patterson.

Three plays later Watson takes the ball himself on a 10 yard run to give the Tigers a 10-7 lead after the successful PAT attempt. Before kickoff , he had to be restrained and led off the field by a team official to prevent him from taunting the opposition.
“We are disappointed in their actions and apologize to the TCU Horned Frogs Nation”, the statement reads. Even after walking away, Boykin went back to the scene and charged officers, striking one in the face.
“We don’t know if he was swinging at the officer or somebody behind him”, McManus said.
Police said Boykin charged an officer, injuring at least one. After officers threatened to use a stun gun on Boykin, he was arrested.
McManus said the officer suffered a swollen face, bruises and abrasions. A TCU spokesperson confirmed Boykin was sent home following his arrest and suspension.
The 22-year-old Boykin was swiftly suspended for Saturday’s Alamo Bowl against No. 15 Oregon. Paramedics treated the officer for knee lacerations and investigators photographed his injuries.
“Clearly this was not an appropriate way to act”, McManus said of Boykin. “He was being heckled and he responded to it, unfortunately”. The San Antonio Police also stated that Boykin also faces charges of resisting arrest and public intoxication along with the felony assault.
A manager at Pat O’Brien’s said the restaurant is cooperating with investigators and has turned its surveillance footage over to the authorities. He will not play in Saturday’s bowl game.
“I’m hurting for him. Naturally, it’s disappointing.” Cumbie said he thinks the arrest was out of character for the Boykin he knows.
Boykin’s absence should mean more work for senior running back Aaron Green, who gained 1,171 yards and 10 touchdowns this season.
Senior Bram Kolhausen will likely be the Frogs starter with freshman Foster Sawyer backing him up.
