Cowboys lose Bedlam 58-23, miss out on chance for Big 12 title

N at h a n Ruiz Spo rt s E di to r @ N at h a n S R u i z

Mason Rudolph entered to surprise and exited to disappointment.

Rudolph, Oklahoma State’s usual starter at quarterback, entered the Cowboys’ 58-23 loss to Oklahoma with 7:25 left in the second quarter. It seemed strange to suddenly see Rudolph, who dealt with a foot injury throughout the week, come in with OSU already trailing 28-10.

Backup J.W. Walsh performed admirably, but in a Bedlam game where the winner was the Big 12 champion, OSU needed a spark.

Rudolph didn’t provide it.

He threw three passes. The first two were nearly intercepted.

Sooner cornerback Jordan Thomas managed to finish the job on the third, returning it 32 yards for a touchdown.

It was the last pass Rudolph threw.

“You could tell his foot was hurting him,” Walsh said. “But he’s a competitor and he wanted to get out there, so he was trying to fight through whatever he’s fighting through. You’ve gotta give him some credit for trying to get out there and compete with this team and trying to fight through his pain.”

Walsh performed admirably in his stead. After attempting 29 passes all season, Walsh threw 42 passes, completing 25 of them for 325 yards and two MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2015

touchdowns. He also threw an interception in what is expected to be the senior’s final game at Boone Pickens Stadium.

It was Walsh’s first start since the second game of the 2014 season, when he suffered a seasonending foot injury.

“During the week, we felt like J.W. needed to play more,” OSU coach Mike Gundy said. “We didn’t really feel that Mason was healthy enough to play the game at full speed and, two, protect himself.”

With Walsh receiving most of the practice reps throughout the week, players said they were aware he would be the starter Saturday, with the Big 12 title

and potentially a spot in the College Football Playoff on the line.

With the offense sputtering, the Cowboys tried to turn to Rudolph, who wasn’t made available to media after the game.

“We talked with him, and he said he felt good,” offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich said.

“He’s an ultra-competitive guy.

He gave it his go.”

Three plays later, OSU faced a 24-point deficit.

“We tried to make a little change there,” Gundy said. “…

It didn’t work out for us.”

For the first time since 200910, the Cowboys (10-2, 7-2 Big 12) lost multiple games at home back-to-back seasons.

OCOLLY.COM

After a Ben Grogan field goal gave the Cowboys an early 3-0 lead, Alex Ross returned the ensuing kickoff 90 yards, setting up a 4-yard touchdown pass from Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield to Sterling Shepard gave the Sooners (11-1, 8-1) the lead.

OSU responded the next drive with a 26-yard touchdown pass

by Walsh, who found a leaping Jhajuan Seales in the end zone.

But it was the last time OSU led.

The Sooners scored 27 straight points to put OSU away, eventually removing all doubt in a second half where the Cowboys scored only three points.

With the victory, OU won the Big 12 title and likely guaranteed itself a spot in the College Football Playoff, while OSU, after a 10-0 start, will have to wait until Dec. 6 to learn its bowl fate.

“I was disappointed because the score will take away some from the players and what they were able to accomplish this year,” Gundy said. “Both teams they lost to were ranked in the top 10 in the country, so I don’t want them to forget that. … I don’t want to take anything away from the players and what they were able to accomplish this year.” sports@ocolly.com

OPINION: Greatness once again eludes Oklahoma State after tough Bedlam loss Cody S tav e n h a g e n S e n i o r S p o rt s Rep o rt er

@ C o d y S tav e n h a g e n

J.W. Walsh woke up Saturday knowing some dreams were within reach.

“College GameDay” was in town. A Big 12 title was on the line. And so were Bedlam bragging rights.

Walsh was starting at quarterback as Mason Rudolph dealt with a foot injury that left his mobility severely limited. This is what Walsh had dreamed of, what he had worked for since the start.

“Very emotional day,” Walsh said. “Woke up today ready to go, and then as we went through walkthroughs and meetings, I could just feel the emotions building up. Senior night was a big deal. When I walked out, I saw my mom.

She was crying, and that was hard just because you see her crying, and I’ve got all these emotions built up.”

OSU might have beat Oklahoma, sent the fans storming onto the field as the Cowboys captured only the second outright conference championship in school history. They could have gone to a major bowl game, even made one last stateMONDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2015

ment to the College Football Playoff committee.

Isn’t it pretty to think so?

Instead of getting a rare taste of glory, OSU was sent to the locker room licking deep wounds after a 58-23 thrashing at the hands of Baker Mayfield and the No. 3 Sooners.

Walsh wasn’t perfect, but he played well given the circumstances. He threw for 325 yards and two touchdowns with one interception. He ran for 50 more yards.

But he was left wanting more, and so was a fan base that ends the 2015 regular season still reaching for the mountaintop.

“Everyone’s pretty down in the locker room right now, because No. 1, you don’t want to lose when you’re playing for the Big 12 championship,” Walsh said. “You don’t want to lose the last game of the season, especially to OU. Everyone was pretty down, but you had the sense everyone was going to play when it’s time to get ready for bowl practices.

We’ve done that all year, and we’ll continue that.”

If there is anything to say about this year’s Oklahoma State team, it’s this: There was never a dull moment.

The Cowboys came from behind to win, including at times where it seemed unlikely. They played great in flashes and horrible in others.

But they kept winning, even capturing a victory against TCU that put them in the College Football Playoff conversa-

tion. Thing was, it didn’t end as planned. Losses to Baylor and OU spoiled the fairytale. That’s an unfortunate reality in the history of Oklahoma State, and it happened again Saturday.

“Looking at it overall, we’re not happy with how it came out tonight, but we had a good season,” linebacker Seth Jacobs said.

Coach Mike Gundy can relate on a smaller scale. He thought he entered this game with a solid coaching scheme.

It never translated to the field.

The Cowboys were down 21OCOLLY.COM

10 early in the second quarter, and it only got worse from there.

“You put plans together and sometimes they just don’t work as good as you want to, and it’s just not fun, but it happens,” Gundy said.

By the fourth quarter, the stands cleared out. The dream was dead. These Cowboys were good, but they won’t be remembered as great. That title remains elusive.

The search for a silver lining, though, isn’t hard. At 10-2, OSU still had one of the best regular seasons in school his-

tory. The Cowboys will go to a respectable bowl game, and they’ll come into next year locked and loaded, ready to do it all again.

“Tonight, I was disappointed because the score and the way it ended will take away some from what the players were able to accomplish this year,” Gundy said. “Selfishly, being the coach of these guys, they lost when both teams were ranked top-10 in the country.

“I don’t want them to forget that.” opinion@ocolly.com

Dieringer, Crutchmer anchor osu wrestlers in victory

D e k o ta Gregory Sp orts R e p o rt er @ d e k o ta g r e g o r y

Oklahoma State has the best one-two punch in the country in the middle of its lineup.

No. 1 Alex Dieringer and No. 3 Kyle Crutchmer both proved their ranks Sunday in the Cowboys’ 20-17 win against No. 18 Minnesota (4-4).

With OSU (2-1) down 10-6 after suffering upsets

at 149 and 157 pounds, the Cowboys needed their top wrestler to step up at 165 pounds. Dieringer came through.

Dieringer gave OSU the lead with an 18-1 technicalfall over Brandon Krone in the second period. After getting five bonus points from Dieringer, OSU took an 11-10 lead, and Crutchmer added more bonus points to the scoreboard at 174.

Crutchmer pinned Jordan Rothers with three seconds left to cushion the Cowboys’ lead to 17-10 with three matches left.

“Back-to-back. Big points,” coach John Smith said. “In tough matches, bonus points always are the key. When Dieringer went out there and got that tech,

and then I liked the way Crutchmer kind of started his match on the legs.

“The more exciting thing is the fact that once you put people to their back, hold them there; get the pin.

That’s what he did at a time when we needed it.”

Dieringer and Crutchmer are both undefeated this

season after stellar finishes last year. Dieringer claimed his second national title after finishing the season 33-0.

Crutchmer notched his first All-American finish after finishing fifth place at the NCAA Tournament.

Both have compiled impressive resumes, but is there a better one-two punch in the

country than Dieringer and Crutchmer?

“No,” Crutchmer said.

“There’s not. That’s all I have to say. There’s not a better one-two than me and him. We’ll continue to show that, too.”

Dieringer and Crutchmer helped rebound the Cowboys after No. 8 Anthony Collica and No. 14 Chance Marsteller experienced upsets at 149 and 157 pounds, respectively.

Nolan Boyd all but sealed OSU’s win with a 4-1 decision over Chris Pfarr at 184 pounds after Crutchmer’s pin. Boyd’s win gave the Cowboys a 20-10 lead with two matches left.

In Austin Marsden’s absence, Austin Schafer only had to avoid a pin in the final match to give OSU its first home win of the season. Schafer lost to No. 9
