As for Week 4, OK State will have to deal with a high-powered Baylor offense, which has scored at least 38 points in their first three games.

In a Big 12 opener Saturday night, Rudolph gets another chance to win against the only conference opponent the junior quarterback hasn’t defeated yet when the Cowboys (2-1) play at 16th-ranked Baylor (3-0).

A short week for TCU, but the Horned Frogs are a three-touchdown favorite Friday night at SMU, which lost 40-13 at Baylor two weeks ago. Mason Rudolph completed 26 of 46 passes for 540 yards and two touchdowns. The Cowboys are a insane Hail Mary that shouldn’t have happened away from being 3-0 on the season, though they should be credited for picking up a big win over Pittsburgh last week coming off that loss. Defensively, Oklahoma State football is yielding 234.7 yards in passing and 148.0 yards in rushing against the opposing teams.

This looks like a potential breakout game for the Bears. Baylor is giving up just 10 points and 249.3 yards per game. Defensively, Baylor football is yielding 10.0 points per game against the opposing team. Offensively, Baylor is moving the ball as fine as usual. Ben Grogan has nailed four of his five field goal attempts for the Cowboys while Zach Sinor is averaging 43.1 yards per punt. Three different backs have over 200 yards this season. Quarterback Seth Russell has added 761 passing yards with nine touchdowns. Two of the Bears’ victories have come against 0-3 teams.

The equipment staff has done an incredible job so far this season, and today they have outdone themselves. Oklahoma State also should see their offensive numbers slip a little bit.
