3. Mason Rudolph totals six touchdowns

Oklahoma State has a history of rolling through opponents after a loss. Head coach Mike Gundy did not come into the TCU game extremely prepared. That’s likely to change this week against Texas Tech.

Senior quarterback Mason Rudolph also did not come with his best game against the Frogs. Rarely will a quarterback like Rudolph ever get outplayed by one like TCU’s Kenny Hill. However, that is something that happened in Week 4.

Texas Tech will put up points on the Oklahoma State defense. However, expect Rudolph to have a huge bounce back performance both on the ground and in the air. Rudolph does have three rushing touchdowns on the season.

Last year’s meeting with the Red Raiders saw Rudolph go turnover-free with nearly 400 passing yards and three total touchdown. His touchdown total will increase while his passing yards number will stay in the same ballpark.
