Mason Rudolph Breaks Barry Sanders’ Oklahoma State Record with 45 TDs

With his first touch in the second half of his Stillwater finale, OSU’s all-time leading passer matched another milestone.

One play after Chad Whitener logged his second interception of the season, Rudolph struck quickly with a 30-yard connection to James Washington.

That play would give Rudolph 44 TDs responsible for on the season, tying Barry Sanders’ record from his 1988 Heisman campaign.

Later in the third quarter, Rudolph would call his own number and found pay dirt for the second time on the ground for No. 45 to break the record. He now has 35 passing TDs and 10 rushing TDs on the season.

Rudolph ended his day early in the fourth quarter with the Cowboys up 51-17 over the Jayhawks and his 31st career win cemented. Rudolph finished with 438 yards and four touchdowns (two in the air and two on the ground).

The Hall of Fame running back took time to offer his congratulations on Twitter.

“Mason accounted for 45 touchdowns, which is one more than Barry Sanders had,” said Gundy after the game. “He broke that record. That’s a big-time accomplishment. When you’re talking about a decorated player, there’s not much else you could ask for.”

Rudolph has held the all-time TDs record at OSU since early this season and is just padding a commanding lead, making this one of several records and lists that will be in Rudolph’s name for a long time at OSU.
