WACO, Texas -- On a late November night two seasons ago, Oklahoma State suddenly pulled the redshirt off their highly touted quarterback.Mason Rudolph lost his debut that night at Baylor, but the Cowboys won their regular-season finale at rival Oklahoma the next week to get bowl eligible.Oklahoma State then won its first 10 games last season before a home loss to the Bears.In a Big 12 opener Saturday night, Rudolph gets another chance to win against the only conference opponent the junior quarterback hasnt defeated yet when the Cowboys (2-1) play at 16th-ranked Baylor (3-0).When he was a freshman, he played down (in Waco), and actually played pretty well. Since then, hes played in about 16 or 17 games ... Hes mature, Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said.Rudolph, 14-4 as a starter, threw for 540 yards last week in a win over Pittsburgh as the Cowboys rebounded from an officiating debacle at the end of the Central Michigan game that cost them a win. That was a school record for passing yards, and the most for any quarterback this season.It was good to get some early adversity, Rudolph said. Despite the loss, were stronger and better for it and were really excited about league play.This will be the biggest test so far this season for Baylor, the leagues only three-win team and along with West Virginia the only Big 12 teams still without a loss. Two of the Bears victories have come against 0-3 teams.I think were about as ready as were going to be, Bears quarterback Seth Russell said. Its the start of a new season. Preseason is over with.
