Bullets: Spring game recap is exciting harbinger for season

Spring game

A swagger, his teammates call it. Not a Joe Namath swagger. A Marlboro Man swagger. A confidence that belies Rudolph’s experience, which extends to three college football games, not counting the Orange-White Game on Saturday at Boone Pickens Stadium. (NewsOK)
