STILLWATER — Mason Rudolph played more than half of last season with a cracked rib.
The Oklahoma State quarterback suffered the injury against Texas on Oct. 1, but he didn't miss any starts because of it.
“No one really knows that at all,” Rudolph said of the rib injury in an interview with The Oklahoman. “We kept that in house.”
Rudolph was hurt early in the second quarter of the Texas game when he scored a touchdown on a 10-yard run. He dove for the goal line and was sandwiched between two defenders.
“It was like, ‘Something's not right,'” he said.
