The Oklahoma State Cowboys look like a different team, especially on defense, in the 2016 Alamo Bowl. Quarterback Mason Rudolph threw for 192 yards and one touchdown in the first half. OK State held the Colorado offense to 153 total yards and zero points with a 17-0 halftime score.
The Cowboys got a great effort from running back Chris Carson with 40 yards rushing, 24 yards passing (on a reverse pass to Rudolph), and one touchdown rushing. True freshman Justice Hill tacked on another 25 yards rushing. A seven-yard loss destroyed Hill’s chance to have a good average of yards per carry in the first half.
