STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) Mason Rudolph has done things the right way since being named Oklahoma State's starting quarterback.
Rudolph closed his freshman season with three strong performances, and coach Mike Gundy named him the starter before spring practice. Rudolph's coaches said the 6-foot-4 pro-style passer has since gained respect from his teammates by demonstrating toughness and becoming a better student of the game.
Rudolph said he never changed his approach once he was told he'd earned the job.
''It's a good thing to know that I'm the guy, but that doesn't take away from how hard I'm going to work,'' Rudolph said.
