Oklahoma shuts the door on Oklahoma State’s hopes for a Big 12 title with a 58-23 beatdown.KURT STEISS/O’COLLY

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2015 OCOLLY.COM PAGE 2

Mason Rudolph entered to surprise and exited to disap-pointment.

Rudolph, Oklahoma State’s usual starter at quarterback, entered the Cowboys’ 58-23 loss to Oklahoma with 7:25 left in the second quarter. It seemed strange to suddenly see Rudolph, who dealt with a foot injury throughout the week, come in with OSU already trailing 28-10. Backup J.W. Walsh performed admirably, but in a Bedlam game where the winner was the Big 12 champion, OSU needed a spark.

Rudolph didn’t provide it.He threw three passes. The

first two were nearly intercepted. Sooner cornerback Jordan Thomas managed to finish the job on the third, returning it 32 yards for a touchdown.

It was the last pass Rudolph threw.

“You could tell his foot was hurting him,” Walsh said. “But he’s a competitor and he wanted to get out there, so he was trying to fight through whatever he’s fighting through. You’ve gotta give him some credit for trying to get out there and compete with this team and trying to fight through his pain.”

Walsh performed admirably in his stead. After attempting 29 passes all season, Walsh threw 42 passes, completing 25 of them for 325 yards and two

touchdowns. He also threw an interception in what is expected to be the senior’s final game at Boone Pickens Stadium.

It was Walsh’s first start since the second game of the 2014 sea-son, when he suffered a season-ending foot injury.

“During the week, we felt like J.W. needed to play more,” OSU coach Mike Gundy said. “We didn’t really feel that Mason was healthy enough to play the game at full speed and, two, protect himself.”

With Walsh receiving most of the practice reps throughout the week, players said they were aware he would be the starter Saturday, with the Big 12 title

and potentially a spot in the Col-lege Football Playoff on the line.

With the offense sputtering, the Cowboys tried to turn to Rudolph, who wasn’t made avail-able to media after the game.

“We talked with him, and he said he felt good,” offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich said. “He’s an ultra-competitive guy. He gave it his go.”

Three plays later, OSU faced a 24-point deficit.

“We tried to make a little change there,” Gundy said. “… It didn’t work out for us.”

For the first time since 2009-10, the Cowboys (10-2, 7-2 Big 12) lost multiple games at home back-to-back seasons.

After a Ben Grogan field goal gave the Cowboys an early 3-0 lead, Alex Ross returned the ensuing kickoff 90 yards, setting up a 4-yard touchdown pass from Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield to Sterling Shepard gave the Sooners (11-1, 8-1) the lead.

OSU responded the next drive with a 26-yard touchdown pass by Walsh, who found a leaping Jhajuan Seales in the end zone.

But it was the last time OSU led.

The Sooners scored 27 straight points to put OSU away, even-tually removing all doubt in a second half where the Cowboys scored only three points.

With the victory, OU won the Big 12 title and likely guaranteed itself a spot in the College Foot-ball Playoff, while OSU, after a 10-0 start, will have to wait until Dec. 6 to learn its bowl fate.

“I was disappointed because the score will take away some from the players and what they were able to accomplish this year,” Gundy said. “Both teams they lost to were ranked in the top 10 in the country, so I don’t want them to forget that. … I don’t want to take anything away from the players and what they were able to accomplish this year.”

Cowboys lose Bedlam 58-23, miss out on chance for Big 12 title

kurt steiss/O’COLLYOklahoma State quarterback Mason Rudolph throws his third and final pass in Bedlam. Oklahoma cornerback Jordan Thomas intercepted the pass and returned it for a touchdown. Playing with an injured foot, Rudolph failed to complete a pass in three attempts.

J.W. Walsh woke up Sat-urday knowing some dreams were within reach.

“College GameDay” was in town. A Big 12 title was on the line. And so were Bedlam bragging rights.

Walsh was starting at quarterback as Mason Ru-dolph dealt with a foot injury that left his mobility severely limited. This is what Walsh had dreamed of, what he had worked for since the start.

“Very emotional day,” Walsh said. “Woke up today ready to go, and then as we went through walkthroughs and meetings, I could just feel the emotions building up. Senior night was a big deal. When I walked out, I saw my mom. She was crying, and that was hard just because you see her crying, and I’ve got all these emotions built up.”

OSU might have beat Okla-homa, sent the fans storming onto the field as the Cowboys captured only the second out-right conference championship in school history. They could have gone to a major bowl game, even made one last state-

ment to the College Football Playoff committee.

Isn’t it pretty to think so?Instead of getting a rare taste

of glory, OSU was sent to the locker room licking deep wounds after a 58-23 thrashing at the hands of Baker Mayfield and the No. 3 Sooners.

Walsh wasn’t perfect, but he played well given the circum-stances. He threw for 325 yards and two touchdowns with one interception. He ran for 50 more yards.

But he was left wanting more, and so was a fan base that ends the 2015 regular season still reaching for the mountaintop.

“Everyone’s pretty down in the locker room right now, because No. 1, you don’t want to lose when you’re playing for the Big 12 championship,” Walsh said. “You don’t want to lose the last game of the sea-son, especially to OU. Every-one was pretty down, but you had the sense everyone was going to play when it’s time to get ready for bowl practices. We’ve done that all year, and we’ll continue that.”

If there is anything to say about this year’s Oklahoma State team, it’s this: There was never a dull moment.

The Cowboys came from be-hind to win, including at times where it seemed unlikely. They played great in flashes and hor-rible in others.

But they kept winning, even capturing a victory against TCU that put them in the Col-lege Football Playoff conversa-

tion. Thing was, it didn’t end as planned. Losses to Baylor and OU spoiled the fairytale. That’s an unfortunate reality in the history of Oklahoma State, and it happened again Saturday.

“Looking at it overall, we’re not happy with how it came out tonight, but we had a good season,” linebacker Seth Jacobs said.

Coach Mike Gundy can relate on a smaller scale. He thought he entered this game with a solid coaching scheme.

It never translated to the field.

The Cowboys were down 21-

10 early in the second quarter, and it only got worse from there.

“You put plans together and sometimes they just don’t work as good as you want to, and it’s just not fun, but it happens,” Gundy said.

By the fourth quarter, the stands cleared out. The dream was dead. These Cowboys were good, but they won’t be remembered as great. That title remains elusive.

The search for a silver lining, though, isn’t hard. At 10-2, OSU still had one of the best regular seasons in school his-

tory. The Cowboys will go to a respectable bowl game, and they’ll come into next year locked and loaded, ready to do it all again.

“Tonight, I was disappointed because the score and the way it ended will take away some from what the players were able to accomplish this year,” Gundy said. “Selfishly, being the coach of these guys, they lost when both teams were ranked top-10 in the country.

“I don’t want them to forget that.”

A number of years ago a song came out based on 2 Sam. 6 when David was bringing the Ark of God to Jerusalem. As this was happening, something was happening to David. He began to dance with all his might before the Ark. (The ark was the special place where God was to dwell.) He was dancing before and in the presence of God, but not all liked his demonstration. The song goes like this:David danced before the Lord. He danced with all his might. His heart was filled with holy joy; his spirit was so light. Michal through the window looked; to criticize did start. She did not know that David had got a dancing heart.David danced before the Lord to magnify his name.His heart was filled with holy joy. He felt no sense of shame. The oil of gladness flowed that day. It quickened every part. He hadn’t only dancing feet; he had a dancing heart.

Michal, David’s wife, was an onlooker, not a participant in the celebration of the Ark being brought to Jerusalem. I n her view David was making a fool of himself. However, David was so excited and expectant as God’s presence was coming in a new way to his life and to the country.We can be a “David” or a “Michal.” Many of us need a fresh realization of the presence of God in us and in the church. “ I will dwell with them and walk among them. I will be their God and they shall be my people.” (2 Co.6:16b) What a wonderful promise. God lives with and among those who are true believers in Christ as Lord. May the Lord give us a fresh understanding of his presence. He is with us to encourage, envision, guide, give wisdom, do wonderful works and show himself real to a cynical world.“Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life.” (Prov.4:23) As we open our hearts to God, our hearts can be filled with good things. W ho knows we may become like David, and have a DANCING HEART?

A DANCING HEART!

Oklahoma State has the best one-two punch in the country in the middle of its lineup.

No. 1 Alex Dieringer and No. 3 Kyle Crutchmer both proved their ranks Sunday in the Cowboys’ 20-17 win against No. 18 Minnesota (4-4).

With OSU (2-1) down 10-6 after suffering upsets

at 149 and 157 pounds, the Cowboys needed their top wrestler to step up at 165 pounds. Dieringer came through.

Dieringer gave OSU the lead with an 18-1 technical-fall over Brandon Krone in the second period. After get-ting five bonus points from Dieringer, OSU took an 11-10 lead, and Crutchmer added more bonus points to the scoreboard at 174.

Crutchmer pinned Jordan Rothers with three seconds left to cushion the Cowboys’ lead to 17-10 with three matches left.

“Back-to-back. Big points,” coach John Smith said. “In tough matches, bonus points always are the key. When Dieringer went out there and got that tech,

and then I liked the way Crutchmer kind of started his match on the legs.

“The more exciting thing is the fact that once you put people to their back, hold them there; get the pin. That’s what he did at a time when we needed it.”

Dieringer and Crutchmer are both undefeated this

season after stellar finishes last year. Dieringer claimed his second national title after finishing the season 33-0. Crutchmer notched his first All-American finish after finishing fifth place at the NCAA Tournament.

Both have compiled im-pressive resumes, but is there a better one-two punch in the

country than Dieringer and Crutchmer?

“No,” Crutchmer said. “There’s not. That’s all I have to say. There’s not a better one-two than me and him. We’ll continue to show that, too.”

Dieringer and Crutchmer helped rebound the Cow-boys after No. 8 Anthony Collica and No. 14 Chance Marsteller experienced up-sets at 149 and 157 pounds, respectively.

Nolan Boyd all but sealed OSU’s win with a 4-1 deci-sion over Chris Pfarr at 184 pounds after Crutchmer’s pin. Boyd’s win gave the Cowboys a 20-10 lead with two matches left.

In Austin Marsden’s absence, Austin Schafer only had to avoid a pin in the final match to give OSU its first home win of the season. Schafer lost to No. 9

Michael Kroells 8-3, but he avoided the fall and gave the Cowboys the victory.

“Minnesota-Oklahoma State, always gonna be a good dual,” OSU wrestler Dean Heil said. “No matter what the rankings are. Rank-ings are just a number. Even if Minnesota wasn’t ranked or if we weren’t ranked and they were No. 1 or if we were No. 1, always gonna be a good match.”

No. 1 Heil posted an impressive 7-3 win at 141 pounds over No. 9 Thomas Thorn in OSU’s third match of the day. No. 5 Eddie Kli-mara started the Cowboys off with an 8-2 decision over Skyler Petry at 125 pounds.

OSU returns to action at 2 p.m. Sunday against North Carolina State at Gallagher-Iba Arena.
