Rudolph Secures Big 12 Weekly Honor
October 05, 2015 | Cowboy Football
STILLWATER - Oklahoma State quarterback Mason Rudolph was recognized as the Big 12 Co-Offensive Player of the Week, the conference office announced today. He shares this week's award with KaVontae Turpin from TCU. This is the first such honor of Rudolph's career.
Rudolph piled up big numbers (34-for-55 for 437 yards with three touchdowns) in the Cowboys' narrow 36-34 win over Kansas State, but it was the manner in which he did it that made it more impressive.
Oklahoma State trailed for most of the game, but for the fourth time in eight career starts, Rudolph quarterbacked the Cowboys to victory when trailing after halftime. Rudolph was at his best in the clutch, completing 10-of-14 passes for 145 yards and a touchdown in the fourth quarter. He completed 10-of-14 passes on third and fourth-down attempts in the game, with all 10 completions resulting in first downs.
Rudolph's 437 passing yards against the Wildcats were the most ever for an Oklahoma State sophomore and marked the fourth-highest single-game total in school history. Making his performance even more impressive is the fact that OSU played the game without either its first-team running back or its second-team running back and that Kansas State was the opponent, which is notable because entering the contest, the Wildcats had an FBS-long streak of 49 consecutive wins when trailing at halftime.
Rudolph is one of only two underclassmen in the country with multiple 400-yard passing games this season.
He is the third Cowboy to earn Big 12 weekly honors this year, as defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah was Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week and kicker Ben Grogan was Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week after the Cowboys' win at Texas.
