OSU won as expected in its home opener, but several areas left a lot to be desired in a 32-8 victory against Central Arkansas. The grades reflect the good and the bad.
MASON RUDOLPH
B The Cowboy quarterback threw for more than 400 yards in his home debut. But a week after missing on four throws, Rudolph missed at least six more throws against Central Arkansas as estimated by OSU coach Mike Gundy. Most of the throws that Rudolph missed on came on first down, leaving the Cowboys in second-and-long situations. As good as his numbers looked in the end — 23 of 35 for 401 yards, two touchdowns and one interception — he will have to play at an even higher level as the opponents improve.
