Oklahoma State quarterback Mason Rudolph passes for 335 yards, three touchdowns in rout

Mason Rudolph passed for 335 yards and three touchdowns, ran for a score and broke Oklahoma State's career passing record in the No. 11 Cowboys' 44-7 victory over South Alabama on Friday night in Mobile, Ala.

Rudolph broke Brandon Weeden's mark of 9,260 yards late in the second quarter and finished the night with 9,352.

He completed 25 of 38 passes for the Cowboys (2-0) before heading to the sideline late in the third quarter. The 6-5 senior has passed or run for eight touchdowns in two games.

Getting that record, Rudolph said, "was cool" but not that big of a deal personally.

"That's not even one of the goals on my goal sheet," Rudolph said. "Getting the Big 12 title is the ultimate goal, and it's going to take a lot more of these performances to get there."

Oklahoma State's defense also throttled the Sun Belt Conference's Jaguars (0-2), who lost starting quarterback Cole Garvin to a right ankle injury after one series.

The Cowboys outgained South Alabama 505-175 in total yards and had a shutout until the final five minutes.

Rudolph completed a 66-yard touchdown pass on a short slant pass-and-run to James Washington and connected on scoring strikes of 4 and 20 yards to Marcell Ateman.

Backup South Alabama quarterback Dallas Davis completed 13 of 23 passes for 126 yards. He hit Maaseiah Francis for a late 17-yard touchdown.

• No. 9 Wisconsin is extending a helping hand to Florida Atlantic, which plans to arrive in Madison in time for the game Saturday against the Badgers, though the return trip is in question with Hurricane Irma potentially making landfall in southern Florida this weekend. The schools have discussed contingencies, including extra nights in hotel rooms and the use of the Badgers' athletic and training facilities. "Whatever we need to do to accommodate that," Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst said. "Those are real things to the players and, obviously, to any of the teams down there."
