Mike Gundy was quick to name Mason Rudolph the Oklahoma State starting quarterback going into the 2015 season. Even before spring practice, Rudolph was crowned.
Gundy says the way the 2014 season ended made the decision easy.
“Each situation is different,” Gundy said Tuesday during Big 12 Football Media Days at the Dallas Omni Hotel. “We felt like it was best for our football team to name him the starter. His ability to lead, the toughness. Obviously, we had success at the latter part of the season with him.”
Rudolph played solid in a 49-28 loss at Baylor, then quarterbacked OSU to a 38-35 overtime upset win at OU, followed by a 30-22 Cactus Bowl victory over Washington.
