Even though he's been very productive early in his career, sophomore quarterback Mason Rudolph has to start playing better when it matters most for Oklahoma State.
After splitting the duties late again last week, Rudolph looks to clean up some mistakes Saturday when the 20th-ranked Cowboys host fellow unbeaten Kansas State.
Rudolph is expected to be ready to go despite enduring some big hits in last Saturday's dramatic 30-27 road win over Texas. He completed 22 of 34 passes for 290 yards with one touchdown but had two interceptions and a fumble. He threw incompletions on five of his final six attempts, though the Cowboys (4-0, 1-0 Big 12) won on a late field goal following a Longhorns turnover.
