STILLWATER, Okla. -- Just after Oklahoma State’s spring game Saturday, Mason Rudolph was answering questions from reporters when punter Zach Sinor sprinted by and bellowed "Mason for Heisman!” which reverberated through the Boone Pickens Stadium tunnel.
Just two days before, the Cowboys had preemptively launched a Heisman campaign for their senior quarterback with a cryptic tweet, which preceded the unveiling of Rudolph’s own Heisman Web page:

Bump each letter up by two, and the code is unlocked: “Mason Rudolph for Heisman.” A not-so subtle salvo in advance of one of the most anticipated seasons in Oklahoma State history.
