WACO, Texas -- On a late November night two seasons ago, Oklahoma State suddenly pulled the redshirt off their highly touted quarterback.Mason Rudolph lost his debut that night at Baylor, but the Cowboys won their regular-season finale at rival Oklahoma the next week to get bowl eligible.Oklahoma State then won its first 10 games last season before a home loss to the Bears.In a Big 12 opener Saturday night, Rudolph gets another chance to win against the only conference opponent the junior quarterback hasnt defeated yet when the Cowboys (2-1) play at 16th-ranked Baylor (3-0).When he was a freshman, he played down (in Waco), and actually played pretty well. Since then, hes played in about 16 or 17 games ... Hes mature, Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said.Rudolph, 14-4 as a starter, threw for 540 yards last week in a win over Pittsburgh as the Cowboys rebounded from an officiating debacle at the end of the Central Michigan game that cost them a win. That was a school record for passing yards, and the most for any quarterback this season.It was good to get some early adversity, Rudolph said. Despite the loss, were stronger and better for it and were really excited about league play.This will be the biggest test so far this season for Baylor, the leagues only three-win team and along with West Virginia the only Big 12 teams still without a loss. Two of the Bears victories have come against 0-3 teams.I think were about as ready as were going to be, Bears quarterback Seth Russell said. Its the start of a new season. Preseason is over with. As our strength coaches say, `Its our heavyweight rounds. These guys are coming in swinging hard, and we need to answer back.Other things to know when Oklahoma State plays its first road game and becomes the first Big 12 team to play twice in Baylors campus stadium that opened on the banks of the Brazos River in 2014:SECONDARY NIGHTMARESOklahoma States James Washington (19 catches, 399 yards, 3 TDs) and Baylors KD Cannon (24 catches, 352 yards, 4 TDs) are the Big 12s top receivers. Both had five catches and two touchdowns in last years matchup in Stillwater, though Cannon had 210 yards receiving and Washington had 88.

Freshman JaMycal Hasty (79 yards per game rushing), sophomore Terence Williams (77.3 ypg) and senior Shock Linwood (71.0 ypg) are all in the top seven for rushing in the Big 12. Russell said Linwood, the schools career rushing leader, has energy, intelligence and experience, while Williams is the power guy and Hasty is the speedster who can hit holes.NOT SO FASTBaylor has failed to score in the first quarter of its last two games. That was after the Bears led all FBS teams last season by averaging 16.8 points in the first quarter, scoring at least 21 points five times. They led 24-0 in the first quarter in this seasons opener against FCS team Northwestern State.HOME AND AWAYBaylor is 31-3 at home since 2011, the nations best home record in that span.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Josh Sittons career with the Green Bay Packers is over.The Packers released the three-time Pro Bowl offensive lineman Saturday, after being unable to trade him.We want to thank Josh for his contributions during his time in Green Bay. He has been an important part of the success we have enjoyed on the field, Packers general manager Ted Thompson said.While these decisions are never easy, this was done with a focus on what is best for the team and the growth of the offensive line. We wish Josh and his wife, Kristen, all the best in the future.The Packers spent part of Saturday trying to trade Sitton before the NFLs deadline to cut rosters to 53.Sitton, 30, was entering the final year of a five-year, $33.75 million contract. He was scheduled to make $6.450 million in base salary and roster bonuses this season.Reached via text message after the Packers made the news of his release official and he did not answer his phone, Sitton stuck to clichés when asked about his shocking departure.I really dont want to talk, man, Sitton wrote. Im thankful to the organization. Its a tough business.Its a surprising move given Sittons longevity -- he has started 110 of 112 possible regular-season games since 2009 -- but he has experienced back issues the past couple of seasons. In fact, he said he lost weight this offseason in an effort to take some of the stress off his back.Im very optimistic of his prospects for playing for a number of additional years, Sittons agent, Jack Reale, told ESPNs Josina Anderson. Hes coming off of mmaybe his best camp in the last four years.dddddddddddd Hes lighter, and he is in better shape. He is coming off of a Pro Bowl season and he just turned 30.I think hes got lots left. I think all the teams that he has been playing against for the last several years are certainly aware of that, and certainly teams within their division. So we will see what happens.Sitton was one of four offensive line starters entering the final seasons of their contracts. The Packers will need salary-cap space if they want to retain left tackle David Bakhtiari, right guard T.J. Lang and center JC Tretter -- all of whom will be free agents after this season.By releasing Sitton, the Packers wipe off his $6.150 million base salary plus $400,000 in per-game roster bonuses from their salary cap. Theres no dead money because Sitton did not have any remaining signing-bonus proration counting on this years cap.Its not immediately clear how they plan to replace Sitton in the lineup, but they have several candidates, including Lane Taylor and Don Barclay. Its also possible they could move right tackle Bryan Bulaga to guard and play rookie second-round pick Jason Spriggs at Bulagas old spot. Or they could move Tretter to guard from center once Corey Linsley is recovered from the hamstring injury that had him on the physically unable to perform list all of training camp.Information from ESPNs Jason Wilde was used in this report.
