throws that way. caught. washington finds a crease and rudolph put it on him. >> joel: if you're going down, you go down with your best. i love the play call. i love the decision from mason rudolph. a great ball on target for a first down. >> joel: a gain of 20. first and 10. rudolph out of the pocket. dumps it off. complete to hill. he goes down immediately. >> gus: texas tech wanted a hold on marcus keys, the left guard. looks like broderick washington was the man bearing down on mason rudolph in the backfield and made him exit the pocket. >> gus: 17th career game with 300 or more passing yards. 7 and 8 at the 34.

rudolph, the throw. over the middle. caught again. first down. a flag on the play. mccleskey makes the reception. >> joel: the flag away from the play. bottom of your screen, near side. >> referee: prior to the pass, holding, defense. number 3 on an eligible receiver. that flag is declined. the result of the play is a first down. >> joel: take the first down. what has been

the in cuts. whether it's a slot receiver or a slant receiver. the routes over the middle. that's where oklahoma is making all of their money right now. >> gus: first and 10 at the 23. rudolph running the ball. another first down as he falls at the 10 in front of dorsey. >> joel: he's just thought of as a nonthreat as a runner that texas tech's defense is not respecting him. he gives the fake and wide open. hill cuts it back. dragged down inside the tech 5. what a great series for oklahoma state. >> joel: a couple of great passes by mason rudolph in big situations including long third down conversion. they're primed here for a score. >> gus: second down and goal at the 4 after the six-yard

hill. cuts it back. falls at the 1. dakota allen with first contact. third down and goal. >> joel: here you go. this is the snap here. this will tell you everything you need to know about the will of your football team on either side. if you're oklahoma state, you have the will to keep this season alive potentially your playoff hopes alive. >> gus: the texas tech defense was made for big plays here. high snap. rudolph runs it. he won't get in. so now the cowboys have a decision to make. here's the field goal unit. six

>> joel: remember, gus, the center, brad lundblade. he left the game with an injury. this is a backup. now in his second game. he's in at center. that's what caused that play to go awry. >> gus: and ammendola, 2 for 3 tonight. this one from 19 yards away. off the edge of the upright again. he missed it from 19 yards. unbelievable. texas tech will take over, 5:30 to go.

elated on the texas tech sideline. oklahoma state can't believe it. that's the reason that if you're mike gundy, you take a delay of game. remember, we've seen kliff kingsbury twice tonight about that spot on the field take a delay of game in order to get a better angle for the short field goal. there ammendola is forced to kick the chip shot and he missed it. >> gus: texas tech first count and 10 at their own 20. stockton king in the backfield. here's the hand-off. king. backwards running room. texas tech adopted their team slogan,

texas tech versus everybody. people not giving them a chance to be good in the big 12. kliff kingsbury said we have 12 chances every year to prove everybody wrong. >> joel: darian daniels down for oklahoma state. this is born out of being picked to finish 10th in the big 12. daniels, the junior from dallas. been a strong contributor on that d-line this year. his first year as a starter. this place has been magical for texas tech throughout the years under the lights. 4-1 record versus a.p. top 15 teams in night games here in lubbock. that ttve, they brought

new faces between the signing class and the transfers. 18 different transfers. some from four-year schools, lots from junior colleges. i believe 13 was the number. >> gus: coming into this season, kliff kingsbury on the hot seat. >> joel: and he knew it. didn't shy away from it. >> gus: second down and 5 at the 25. 34-34. shimonek. drops it off in the flats. stockton looking for the first down. he has it. >> joel: those backs have gotten loose several different times as they come out of the backfield. the linebackers for oklahoma state have lost coverage a few times. that's where shimonek has made up yardage and gotten easy conversions. >> gus: first down.

here's the blitz. shimonek. throws under pressure. incomplete. that thrown high. t.j. vasher was open. >> joel: here's part of the problem. texas tech doesn't normally rotate wide receivers. the same four guys out there. now with coutee out of the game, they have to go to their depth. and now vasher is getting time. gus, on the last snap, the timing was a bit off. vasher was not out of his break. coutee on the sideline there. injured earlier in this game. >> gus: second and 10 at the 31. shimonek. underneath. caught. not enough for the first down for antoine wesley. tech trying to get to the

of scrimmage quickly. faced with a third and 4 at their own 37. >> joel: an effective play on second and 10. creates a shorter yardage situation where a dump down to a back or a short wide receiver you can get the conversion. >> gus: oklahoma state with trouble on third down last week against tcu. >> joel: couldn't get the frogs off the field. gave up 11 of 13 third down conversions. >> gus: third and 4. shimonek. underneath. again. incomplete. nobody even close. >> joel: that's the miscommunication. that's the issue when you don't rotate as a wide receiver. vasher hasn't had the remembers in this type of situation to understand the coverage to drop out of his route. shimonek expecting something from vasher that he was not getting. now tech will have to punt it away. >> gus: vasher a

wichita falls. and panazzolo, the last time he attempted a punt, it was blocked. he'll get this one off. and fair caught at the 20. 3:22 to go. let's recap it for you. here's how we got to this point. >> joel: the first series for oklahoma state was so impressive. 21-17. they came down to field. mason rudolph gets in there. texas tech just quietly started clawing back. here's the biggest play. the field goal. they gave tech a chance. oklahoma state, have to give them credit. stopping that series and giving their offense a chance. >> gus: from the 21. rudolph. all day to throw the football. dumps

caught by keenan brown. and brown picks up three. >> joel: great coverage from jordan brooks. he made the tackle. fast player. just a sophomore. played all year last year as a true freshman from houston. 6'1", 240 pounds. he will be in the cross hairs now. they have worked the middle of the field all day long. >> gus: second down and 7 at the 24. they'll run it. hill. and knocked out of bounds. gilmore knocked him out-of-play after another three-yard gain. clock stopped at 2:44. >> joel: third down opportunity. we led were the defense coming in for texas tech. they've been pretty good tonight. as advertised. not a great defense but good enough at times. a chance to get off the

>> gus: they make it third and 5 at the 26. washington, the receiver at the top. rudolph. fires down the field. a man -- what a catch! ateman ripped the ball down like he was a rebounder. a gain of 26 and a first down over octavius morgan. >> joel: that's what 6'4", 220 pounds will do for you. a 50/50 ball. mason rudolph just gave his player a chance and ateman came down with it. >> gus: ateman, six catches, 114 yards. first down at the tech 48. play fake. rudolph. far side. caught. washington. stiff-arm. dragged down from behind. that might be a flag if it's a horse collar. >> joel: yeah, i thought it was. fields who has played a terrific game out there

position a red shirt freshman as he was trying to get washington down to the ground clearly had a hold of that back of the jersey. that neck area. >> referee: personal foul, face mask. defense. number 23. 15-yard penalty added to the end of the run. first down. >> joel: i didn't see the face mask. he had him on the back of the jersey. either of those could have been called. >> jenny: so already oklahoma state in field goal rank or are they? ammendola has missed a 22 yarder and a 19-yarder. 2 for 4. will mike gundy trust him is the big question if he has to. >> joel: they're

clock bleed a little bit. they get it away. rudolph. quarterback draw. he will go down at the 16. texas tech called a time-out. they have two remaining. 1:19 to play. >> joel: you'll see how much faith mike gundy has because of this. two field goals off the right upright for ammendola. and this sequence of play calling is going to let you know exactly how much faith gundy has in running matt ammendola out on the field to attempt a field goal here inside of a man.

. >> gus: second down and 8 at the 16. rudolph. runs it. gets to the line. touchdown cowboys! the second rushing touchdown of the game for mason rudolph. oklahoma state takes a 40-34 lead. >> joel: you'll have four texas tech players that get stuck with their eyes in the wrong direction. you have corners in man to man. the defensive end goes way down with the running back. the safety gets stuck with his eyes in the backfield. and there's nobody left for mason rudolph. >> gus:

point. it's good. 41-34. 1:12 remaining. here's texas tech. they'll get the football back with two time-outs.

>> gus: welcome back to lubbock. mason rudolph scored two rushing touchdowns. you take a look at the drive. six plays, 79 yards. just over two minutes. rudolph with the big run. ammendola sends it away. he kicks this one deep for a touchback. texas tech will start from the 25 for nic shimonek. >> joel: all the chips in the middle of the table. you have a great series from the oklahoma state defense. the offense came out and answered the bell with everything on the line. two losses, you're not going to the playoffs. nick shimonek will led his red raiders back on the field. he's had a terrific second

over 300 yards passing. they'll have to get this thing going very quickly. the tempo that we're using to seeing from texas tech. 1:12. texas tech has a couple time-outs. >> gus: from the 25. shimonek. in trouble. throws. out of bounds. 1:06 to go. joel, quickly. when he looks to the line after breaking the huddle with the play, what is happening there? >> joel: he's looking over to the play caller, kliff kingsbury. he's trying to get them to the right play. the problem is that shimonek keeps looking to vasher, the most inexperienced wide

what did mason rudolph do? he went to james washington. dylan cantrell has to be you featured receiver. >> gus: shimonek steps up. wants to throw. does. its caught by wesley. 58 second to go. texas tech close to midfield now after the 25-yard gain. >> joel: a lot of time left. two time-outs. >> gus: first down. shimonek. lets it go. and out of bounds. >> joel: great coverage by oklahoma state. the defensive linemen trying to get after shimonek who is buying time. that was to osborne, number 91 that was a playing the pressure to shimonek. he had no where to go with the ball. >> gus: texas tech with two time-outs left. oklahoma state has

second and 10. at midfield. shimonek. dancing. shimonek. looking. he throws it out of bounds again. good coverage by the cowboy defense. darian daniels with pressure. that makes it third and 10. >> joel: you have to think about running that ball if you're nic shimonek and try to stay out of this longer yardage situation. the coverage right now for oklahoma state, they're rushing three and dropping eight in coverage. that's why there's no where to go with the football for shimonek. >> gus: third and 10. shimonek.

with time. bouncing around. throws. incomplete. willies the intended receiver. tre flowers got a hand on it. fourth down and 10 with 23 seconds to go. >> joel: in is where the injury to coutee is so big. he's the guy that understands space more than any wide receiver in the game. the wide receivers are not understanding which zones to hook up in. this drop eight coverage is confusing them as they make their way down the field. >> gus: fourth down and 10 at midfield. a time-out called by the red raiders. >> referee: second charged time-out texas tech. that is a 30-second time-out. >> gus: one left for tech.

>> joel: kliff kingsbury and the texas tech red raiders are seeing the same coverage snap after snap after snap. on the last play, it looks like oklahoma state before they took that time-out was going to pressure, which is why kingsbury took a time-out. he wanted to take it over. at this point, the first down is paramount. they got a time-out. you can't worry about the clock yet. right now this is one snap for the game. at that point, you have to call a play where every wide receiver is at a minimum at the sticks. when you're facing zone coverage like they've seen this entire series, we used to have a play all hook where every single guy would run straight ahead and turn around at the sticks. i'm going to as a quarterback choose the best ratio and go to the place where i have the best mismatch and dylan cantrell, the most experienced wide receiver for te

fourth and 10. >> joel: looks like they're going to bring the pressure. force it out of his hands quickly. >> gus: tech trying to stay alive. they need this one. here's shimonek. under pressure. broken up and incomplete. flowers breaks it up. and texas tech turned it over on downs with 18 seconds remaining. >> joel: what a stand from this oklahoma state defense. flowers that drops the interception will get down and give the rest of the dbs 10 for the dropped ball. a great stand for this defense. shimonek trying to go down the seam there. oklahoma state brought the blitz. flowers in perfect position to bat it down and win the game for the oklahoma state cowboys and keep the season

hopes alive. >> gus: a happy mason rudolph has thrown three touchdowns. he ran in another two. rudolph. snaps it. takes a knee. with 13 seconds left, that is your ball game. oklahoma state will improve to 4-1 as they defeat texas tech on the road 41-34. the ninth straight time that the cowboys have defeated the red raiders. >> joel: talk about surviving

the road if you're oklahoma state. matchups always close. last year, came down to a one-point game. a missed pat. kliff kingsbury has to be disappointed. for mike gundy and the cowboys, they're still alive. >> gus: 41-34 the final. mason rudolph, 27 of 38, 376 yards passing, three touchdowns thrown and he ran in two more. right now our jenny taft is standing with coach gundy. >> jenny: coach, it wasn't always easy but you found a way to get it done. how pleased are your with your team? >> with all the ups and downs, i was proud the way we finished. defense made some stops. they were rolling good on it. we made a couple adjustments. the offense put a drive together. it's always this way when oklahoma state plays tech. we have to

they played a good game. we were able to overcome quite a few mistakes in the kicking game. >> jenny: what can you say about the leadership from mason rudolph? five touchdowns. he had two on the ground. what did he do for your team? >> he overthrew the out cutterly and threw the pick. he didn't let it face him. i was proud of our coaching staff and the resiliency with our team. it's a good win. on the road here, wins aren't easy. >> jenny: what improvements do you still need to see? >> we have to be better on kickoff and cover better. ammendola got fine. he got shaken there. in the end, he came back and made the pat. >> jenny: thanks for your time. >> thank you. >> gus: thanks, jenny. time for the expectations shattering drive of the game sponsored by buick. >> joel: it was all about mason rudolph and huge plays down the field. none bigger than that.

marcell ateman gets it. james washington makes a catch, a penalty on that drive. it was the feet of the quarterback and the quarterback that doesn't run often found himself in the end zone twice tonight leading his team to a victory. quite a performance overcoming mistakes and walking out with a victory. >> jenny: the final score here 41-34. oklahoma state beats texas tech. we'll have more postgame coverage from lubbock after these messages. ve up, skeletor! you're finished! curse you, he-man, you interfering imbecile! give us one good reason we shouldn't vanquish you to another dimension! ok, guys, hear me out. switching to geico could save you... hundreds on car insurance. huh, he does make a point... i do like to save money... catch you on the flip, suckas! geico. because saving fifteen percent

is always a great answer.

when it comes down to a quarterback making plays down the field, the quarterback that made the plays is mason rudolph. he did that to some very good and big wide receivers like james washington and marcell ateman. the second half started with a bang. they went down the field. established some dominance. texas tech fought back. they got an onside kick. a couple of miscues from oklahoma state that allowed tech to get in this game. the second missed field goal of the night. that's when you thought the magic was there. what happened? some huge throws on a series and the feet of mason rudolph gets in the end zone and they put it away. great teams have to find ways to win in league play on the road. that's what happened. tech is a better team. they came in 3-0. that was not a fluke. they beat a very good houston team and hung with oklahoma
