Oklahoma St. QB Rudolph doesn't start
STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) Oklahoma State quarterback Mason Rudolph did not start in Saturday's Bedlam showdown with Oklahoma for the Big 12 title.
Rudolph limped at times during last week's game against Baylor, when he threw for 430 yards and three touchdowns.
Senior J.W. Walsh got the start. He has been a red zone and short-yardage specialist for the Cowboys this season, and has made the Cowboys one of the nation's most efficient red zone teams in the nation. Walsh entered the game with 11 rushing and 11 passing touchdowns.
An Oklahoma State spokesman wouldn't confirm if Rudolph was injured.
Rudolph has passed for 3,591 yards this season, the third-most in a season in Oklahoma State history. He also has thrown for 21 touchdowns with just eight interceptions.
