- Mason Rudolph completed 20-of-28 passes for 395 yards and two touchdowns against no interceptions, and added a rushing touchdown in Oklahoma State's win over Texas Tech last week. It was his second straight game passing for more than 390 yards and completing at least 71 percent of his passes.
- Rudolph's 213.5 passer rating was the highest of any Big 12 quarterback last week and it marked his second straight week of having a passer rating above 200.
- Rudolph outdueled Texas Tech's Patrick Mahomes head-to-head, passing for 395 yards on 28 attempts (14.1 yards per attempt) and 213.5 pass efficiency rating, in comparison to Mahomes' 344 passing yards on 51 attempts (6.9 yards per attempt) and 142.7 passer rating.
- Rudolph did the bulk of his damage by throwing down the field, evidenced by his seven completions that resulted in gains of 20 yards or longer and highlighted by an 82-yard touchdown strike on a deep post route to James Washington.
- Rudolph's performance against the Red Raiders brought his season passer rating to 165.1, a mark that ranks ninth in the country and would rank second in school history (min. 300 pass attempts) if the season ended today.
- On the year, Rudolph ranks fifth nationally with 338.4 passing yards per game and is also in the top 10 nationally in total offense, pass efficiency, yards per attempt and yards per completion and he is 12th nationally in touchdown passes and is 16th nationally in completion percentage.
- Rudolph's career average of 308.0 passing yards per game ranks fourth among active FBS quarterbacks and his career pass efficiency rating of 156.2 ranks eighth among active FBS quarterbacks.
