STILLWATER — For now, the play is atop Mason Rudolph's Heisman Trophy campaign highlight reel. But on a more relevant on-field level, it's further proof that Oklahoma State receiver Marcell Ateman is fully tuned in with his quarterback.
And in the pursuit of championships, the latter carries more value.
The moment came late in the first quarter Saturday at Pitt. As two sack-hungry defensive linemen collapsed on Rudolph, he spun out of the pocket and ran to his left.
Well downfield, Ateman saw what was happening behind him. He moved right, then left, then right again, with Rudolph throwing as Ateman made his final break to get away from the defender.
