Bottom Line:

Oklahoma State has been dominating opponents but they have yet to play a pass rush the caliber of TCU.  TCU will get pressure on Rudolph but he will take advantage of the numbers game and pick them apart.  This game will be close but Rudolph will show why he is in the contention for the Heisman Trophy.
