Daily Bullets (December 22)

A big thanks to Kyle Boone for cranking stuff out on PFB while I was out. He was terrific. 

QB Merry-Go-Round

Rudolph is not going to play very much, is he? [NewsOK]

Or maybe he is. Either way, Gundy is enjoying being Super Secretive CIA Gundy yet again.

Mason Rudolph will take 10-12 plays during team period. Things are going well #okstate

I agree with Gundy about how good Rudolph has been on third down. [Tulsa World]

Football News

A look back at the 2009 OSU season when Ole Miss put the Pokes out of their misery. There were 12 (!!) turnovers in that Cotton Bowl? Twelve! [NewsOK]

Chad Whitener scored one of the top 30 college football photos of 2015. [ESPN]

Oklahoma State needs to win the Sugar Bowl for the Big 12. [NewsOK]

Subtle little shot from Glenn Spencer at the SEC buried in this compliment for Ole Miss. “They have the athletes in the right positions with the receivers and the good offensive line and the mobile running quarterback. That is why they lead the SEC in offense and they have been that team in that league that is maybe helping to see it evolve (offensively).” [Go Pokes]

Good look here at what makes Ole Miss good and what makes them vulnerable. [Tulsa World]

Around the Country

Haha, Texas isn’t interested in Kyler Murray? I don’t even have a joke! [CBS]

S&P+ has Ole Miss over Oklahoma State by eight. [Football Study Hall]

Duke throwback helmets? I like. [CBS]

It is crazy to me that Oklahoma State and Baylor ended the season with close to the same offensive efficiency (even with the Baylor-TCU monsoon game). [ESPN]

Pokes in the Pros

Brandon Weeden (sort of) sticks it to Dallas by beating Indy with Houston. How hilarious is it going to be when the Cowboys are picking in the top five of the draft and Weeden is starting a playoff game in a month? [NewsOK]

Justin Blackmon arrested for DUI. Unfortunately not a re-post. [PFB]

Crootin News

Oklahoma State doesn’t currently have a top 40 class. The good news is that OU and Texas barely do. The bad news is that TCU and Baylor have top 25 classes. [ESPN — $]

I see we offered a two-star QB while I was away. I would be wary if I was another Big 12 coach of Mike Gundy offering an under-the-radar two-star QB. [PFB]

Isaac Nauta, the No. 1 TE in the country who was likely never coming to OSU, did not have OSU in his top three. Here are some other options for Mike Yurcich and Co. [PFB]

Boone grades the recruiting classes for 2016. [Defense | Offense]

Other Sports

I watched the Thunder-Clips ending last night. KD was cold (per the usual). [Daily Thunder]

You can get into the first OSU Big 12 men’s game free with a canned good. [okstate]
