New podcast: Carson and I talk Pitt and Mason Rudolph. [PFB]
Zach Crabtree on Rennie Childs: “You love seeing a guy like that have success. He’s waited his time. He’s waited for his moment. He was given his moment and he made the most of it. He took advantage of it and that’s all you can really ask for. So proud of him.” [NewsOK]
Justin Southwell did a great job grading the uniforms. [PFB]
Mike Gundy says the decision to start Mason at Baylor his freshman year was “easy.” [Tulsa World]
Mason Rudolph: “I really enjoy playing on the road and I think it’s a great chance to go in someone’s backyard and beat them there. It’s a really fun challenge and a fun opportunity and we’re all looking forward to it.” [NewsOK]
Zach Crabtree on QB1: “Just more experience, obviously. He’s grown in some areas, but he is just a more mature player. He has a different mental approach now. He’s grown up in some areas. He’s just older, I guess. As we get older, we get wiser. He’s just all around gotten better as a player.” [Go Pokes]
Three things we learned on Saturday. [PFB]
Here is a take on Oklahoma State: Speaking of records that aren’t indicative of the talent of the team, Oklahoma State is not one of the best four teams in the Big 12 this year, but their record says differently. The Cowboys struggled against Pittsburgh, and while the Panthers aren’t a bad team, they aren’t great, and Oklahoma State proved this week that they aren’t great either. INCOMING HOT TAKE: Mason Rudolph is an average quarterback with good receivers and the Cowboys are going to get smacked by Baylor this Saturday. [LGG]
Mark Cooper talked to the person in charge of the great rain delay playlist on Saturday. [Tulsa World]
Awesome work here by Thomas Fleming in breaking down OSU’s offense. [PFB]
Glenn Spencer praised James Conner. Thought this was great. [PFB]
Mike Yurcich on the Colin Kaepernick stuff: “I know that song means a lot to a lot of people. And a lot of people have sacrificed for that song. At the same time, I’m Caucasian, and I’ve never experienced racism, so for me to speak on that matter really doesn’t make a lot of sense. I’ve never served for my country, and I’ve never experienced racism, so it’s hard for me to comment on that situation.” [O’Colly]
Mike Gundy seems convinced the run game is close … is it? [PFB]

But that could be too late. Now, any Big 12 bragging rights will come at the expense of other Big 12 teams. The football committee knows that. The conference is likely to be shut out from the four-team playoff for the second time in three years. [NewsOK]
There you go.
