STILLWATER, Okla. -- Mike Gundys 100th career win at Oklahoma State was one of his best.Mason Rudolph threw three touchdown passes and ran for a score to help the Cowboys upset No. 10 West Virginia 37-20 on Saturday.Its special for all of us, Gundy said of the milestone. For me to not say that 100 wins is not special to me is not fair. That means that were doing well here and were having success.It was Gundys sixth win over a top-10 team since 2008. The Cowboys are now in position to contend for the Big 12 title.Theyve kind of created a monster here, and the only way to feed it is to win big games like we did today, he said. And thats just the way its going to be from this point on.Rudolph completed 26 of 36 passes for 273 yards. James Washington had six catches for 117 yards, Chris Lacy caught two touchdown passes and Jalen McCleskey matched a career high with 11 receptions for the Cowboys (6-2, 4-1 Big 12).It feels great, Lacy said. We knew we had a big game coming, and this was a game to go out and make a statement. We wanted to prove that we run the Big 12.West Virginias Skyler Howard passed for 212 yards, but he threw two interceptions and lost a fumble for the Mountaineers (6-1, 3-1).We just didnt play as good as we have the last couple of weeks, West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said. Maybe were not as good as we thought we were.THE TAKEAWAYWest Virginia: The Mountaineers hadnt played too tough of a schedule, so it was difficult to tell how good they were. West Virginia, which entered the game 10th in the nation in yards per game with 510 yards per game, finished with 421.Honestly, they were doing what we thought they were going to do, said West Virginia receiver Daikiel Shorts Jr., who had 8 catches for 82 yards. We had stuff that was there. They did exactly what we thought they were going to do, we just didnt execute.Oklahoma State: The Cowboys are known for their explosive offense, but their defense led the way in this one. Three times, the Cowboys forced turnovers and gained possession inside the West Virginia 15-yard line, leading directly to 17 points.Gundy said the Cowboys showed great discipline on Ramon Richards 59-yard interception return in the third quarter and Kevin Henrys 26-yard interception return in the fourth.We practice the fumble recovery and the interception, blocking in front of the returner, and not blocking below the waist, Gundy said. The time that we put into it and the players ability to focus and absorb that information has paid great dividends for us, and today was a great example.POLL IMPLICATIONSWest Virginia: The Mountaineers are looking at a steep drop because they dont have any really strong wins to give them a case to avoid it. They could fall out of the Top 20.Oklahoma State: The Cowboys could re-enter the rankings. They might already have been in the Top 25 if not for a controversial loss to Central Michigan.INJURY REPORTRushel Shell, West Virginias leading rusher, left the game in the second quarter with an ankle injury and did not return.UP NEXTWest Virginia hosts Kansas on Saturday.Oklahoma State plays at Kansas State on Saturday.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org---Follow Cliff Brunt on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/CliffBruntAP .Air Max 270 Mens Sale .

With their top three point guards and Kobe Bryant all sidelined by injury, the Lakers signed Marshall out of the D-League on Friday before their home game against Minnesota.Sky Sports News HQ presenter Alex Hammond is back to reveal her fancies for the BetBright Chase and much more.Great to see Silviniaco Conti back to winning ways last weekend - how big a player is he in the Crabbies Grand National now?I would imagine the handicapper would love to reassess him given half a chance after that Grade One win at Ascot and he looks very well treated with hindsight. Fair play to Paul Nicholls for getting the horse back to his best and the application of blinkers for the first time (replacing cheekpieces) helped to give him back his zip. I spoke about the problems Nicholls has had to contend with last week with the 10-year-old and its great to see the horse enjoying life again. If he runs in the National he is a very big player. Not only does the track suit, but he jumps well, so youd hope the big fences would hold no fears. Of course, he has won the Bowl at the National meeting twice before and there must be a temptation to run in that contest again. If I owned him though, Id be heading for the big one, because at the age of 10 and given his lenient rating there is no time like the present. Hes now usurped Many Clouds at the top of Sky Bets market and is a 10/1 chance.Kerry Lees remarkable start to her training career continued with Bishops Roads win in the National trial at Haydock - how do you assess his big race chances?His win at Haydock was an attritional slog in desperate ground which he handled with aplomb. Theres no doubt he stays and stays, but is he as effective on the better ground he is likely to encounter at Aintree? On the plus side, he had some fair form on better ground when he was trained in Ireland and with five wins from 15 starts he is incredibly consistent, while hes far from exposed. Like Silviniaco Conti he also looks well treated in the weights in light of his weekend exploits and at eight years old he could still be progressing.So, lots to like about him and Kerry Lee is making waves in her debut season with a licence, so why not have a go? Another thing that was pleasing to see with Aintree in mind was his natural ability to jump a fence well and he would certainly make my shortlist at the moment. Hes now 25/1 for the National.Nicky Henderson threw open his stable doors to the media this week- what do you rate as his best chance of a Cheltenham Festival winner?Henderson is the most successful trainer at the Cheltenham Festival of all time and it would be unthinkable for him to come away from the meeting without a winner or two. Granted, he hasnt hit the heights weve come to expect this season but one or two winners at the Festival can change everything. As I mentioned last week, Im looking forward to seeing My Tent Or Yours in the Champion Hurdle and with news this week of another Willie Mullins defection the race is getting more and more winnable. It would be a fair training performance after such a long absence, but he will have had a couple of away days before Cheltenham and catching him fresh and well may be just the trick. Hes 7/1 with Sky Bet so still an each-way price, unless more of the protagonists get pulled out before the big day.Bloody Mary is a mare that Henderson speaks highly of and she can go well in the Mares Novices Hurdle on the Thursday of the meeting. Shes currently 12/1 with Sky Bet which seems a fair price for a horse that has won seven of her eight starts. She made her British debut at Taunton at the start of this month and won cosily and despite lacking a bit of stature, showing a good attitude.And wouldnt it be marvellous for Sprinter Sacre to win the Champion Chase again after his well documented problems? He can be backed in the market without Un De Sceaux or if you fancy his chances of beating the Mullins horse hes currently 9/2. Sky Tickets Fast, secure racing tickets: Exclusive racing offers near you Anything take your eye in the BetBright Chase at Kempton?One that jumps off the page from a handicapping point of view is Theatre Guide who now runs off a mark of 139. At his pomp he was running well in handicaps off around half a stone higher and trainer Colin Tizzard is cooking on gas at the moment with his horses consistently running well. Theatre Guidee has been placed twice in the Hennessy and was second to Smad Place this season off the same mark he will run off on Saturday.dddddddddddd I think he will appreciate the better ground which is expected and rates a massive player.Of the other runners, Champagne West doesnt look like a horse that is obviously well handicapped, but he deserves his prominent position in the market. He is clearly a horse of talent, but he does love to treat the odd fence with a lack of respect and I couldnt back him with any confidence until he sharpens up his act. However, he may have a bit more time at his obstacles with this step back up to three miles and as he hasnt had too many chances to show his ability over this trip there could be more to come - he is after all a point-to-point winner.There are some really solid performers in the line up with the likes of Sky Bet Chase winner Ziga Boy running off an 8lb higher mark for his Doncaster win. Le Reve is back for more after his second place to Rocky Creek in this last year and his old foe is also among the entries. Rocky Creek is 4lbs higher this time round with Le Reve up 3lbs. The latter comes here in good form, but his win last time out came with the first time blinkers and youd want to be confident they will have the same effect. Rocky Creek on the other hand comes here off the back of a lacklustre run in the Denman Chase and youd need to see an improvement for a repeat of last years victory.Another to consider is Thomas Brown, who looks the pick of the two Harry Fry entries and this unexposed novice has improver stamped all over him. He stays three miles well and this better ground suits him too.For me its a toss-up between two very different horses: Theatre Guide, who brings plenty of experience to the table and Thomas Brown, who is all about potential. Both offer each-way appeal at 8/1 and I cant split them.A few final Cheltenham clues on the same card - anything tempt you in the Adonis Hurdle or Sky Bet Dovecote?At the time of writing there are short priced antepost favourites for both the Adonis for juveniles and the Sky Bet Dovecote for novices.The market leader for the Adonis Juvenile Hurdle is Gibralfaro for Alan King after two wins from two starts since joining the Barbury Castle handler from France. This race is often a strong trial for the Triumph Hurdle and Gibralfaro is currently a 10/1 shot for the Cheltenham race.Paul Nicholls has a strong entry too and Zubayr is an interesting hurdling debutante. He was an expensive purchase at the Arqana Sales in France back in July with new connections having to fork out 380,000 Euros for this Aga Khan bred son of Authorized. Hes 16/1 for the Triumph with Sky Bet despite never having jumped a flight of hurdles in public and is sure to have done loads of schooling at the champion trainers yard.Nicholls also has Adrien Du Pont in the Kempton race this weekend and this horse has had three starts in the UK, latterly at Chepstow, where he won the Finale in testing ground. He would look vulnerable to something on this better ground with his 7lb penalty, but the likelihood is he instead turns out at Fontwell on Sunday. Pilansberg, who cost 100,000 guineas in October and ran at the highest level when trained in France, is also in there for the yard.Like Zubayr, Nicky Hendersons Khezerabad comes here with no former experience of hurdles. This will show connections where they stand regarding the Triumph for which he is 25/1 and whatever happens, Saturdays race will have a huge bearing on the Triumph Hurdle market one would imagine.The Sky Bet Dovecote also has a decent entry, although whether anything is going to shake up the Sky Bet Supreme market remains to be seen.Min is the horse Ive fancied for the opening race on the Tuesday of the Festival and I havent seen anything yet to change my mind.That said, Alan Kings Winter Escape comes here with an unbeaten record to protect having won both starts. The JP McManus owned five-year-old looks the real deal, but connections are taking things very steady with this horse. He is a smart performer and Im looking forward to seeing him step up in grade on Saturday.Also See:Live results serviceFull racecardsBet ￡5 Get ￡20 FreeGet Sky Sports ' ' '
