September 17, 2016 | Cowboy Football
The Oklahoma State win…
• Improved OSU to 23-5 in its last 28 non-conference games.
• Improved the Cowboys to 48-6 in their last 53 games against unranked opponents, dating back to 2010.
• Brought Mike Gundy to within four victories of the 100-win mark for his career.
Game Notes …
• CW Blake Jarwin, DT Eric Davis, S Jordan Sterns and LB Kirk Tucker served as Oklahoma State captains for today's game.
• OSU set a school record for total offense in a half with 467 yards in the first half. The previous record of 424 was set in the first half vs. Savannah State in 2012.
• Mason Rudolph set an OSU record for passing yards in a half with 372 in the first half. The previous record of 328 was set by Brandon Weeden vs. Tulsa in 2010.
• Rudolph finished with 540 yards passing, ranking as the most in a game in OSU history and the most since Brandon Weeden threw for 502 yards against Kansas State in 2011.
• Rudolph's total matched Texas Tech's Patrick Mahomes (vs. Arizona State) for the best single-game tally this season.
• James Washington set an OSU record for receiving yards in a half with 231 yards receiving in the first half. The previous record was set when Adarius Bowman had 219 in the second half at Kansas in 2009.
• Washington finished with 296 yards receiving, ranking as the second most in a game in OSU history, trailing only Adarius Bowman's 300-yard outing at Kansas in 2006. His total is the most since Dez Bryant's 236-yard performance against Houston in 2008. It also marks the most receiving yards for any FBS player in a game this season, besting KD Cannon's 214 yards in the Baylor-Rice game Friday night.
• Washington went over the 100-yard receiving mark for the seventh time in his career and the first time this season. He reached that mark in the first quarter and finished the quarter with 135 receiving yards.
• That marked Washington's third time to surpass 100-yards receiving in a quarter, following up the fourth quarter at Texas Tech and the first quarter vs. TCU last year.
• Mason Rudolph's 91-yard pass to James Washington was the second-longest passing play in OSU history, second to Zac Robinson's 95-yard pass to Jeremy Broadway in 2008.
• That play also marked the longest from scrimmage in FBS football this season, as well as OSU's best scoring drive in terms of least time elapsed and fewest plays.
• That drive was also OSU's longest of the season in terms of yards covered until it was surpassed later in the half on a 99-yard, seven-play drive that ended with a 29-yard touchdown pass to Washington.
• That drive was OSU's first 99-yard scoring drive since its game against Oklahoma in 2013.
• Jhajuan Seales 86-yard reception that set up OSU's final touchdown in the fourth quarter was the fourth-longest passing play in program history.
• Ben Grogan's streak of eight-straight made field goals ended in the first quarter.
• Grogan made a 45-yard attempt later in the first quarter, marking the second-longest made field goal of his career.
• Cole Walterscheid recorded his first career sack on Pitt's last third down of the first quarter. He added his second later in the first half.
• Rennie Childs' 67-yard touchdown rush in the second quarter was OSU's longest rush since Clint Chelf's 67-yard touchdown run at Texas Tech in 2013.
• Childs finished with a career-high 101 rushing yards, marking the most for any Cowboy in a game this season.
• Childs finished with four rushing touchdowns, marking the most since Desmond Roland had four at Iowa State in 2013.
• Zach Sinor's 65-yard punt in third quarter match his career long.
• Rudolph's yardage total is the most passing yards Pitt has ever allowed, surpassing the 461 amassed by Toledo in 2003.
• There was a lighting delay that began at 5:43 p.m. with 12:55 remaining in the fourth quarter. Play resumed at 7:40 p.m.
• Improved OSU to 23-5 in its last 28 non-conference games.
• Improved the Cowboys to 48-6 in their last 53 games against unranked opponents, dating back to 2010.
• Brought Mike Gundy to within four victories of the 100-win mark for his career.
