DALLAS -- Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy knows Mason Rudolph has to feel better physically, even without talking to the junior quarterback about how he feels.Rudolph played the second half of a game with a broken foot late last season, then got in only one series in the regular-season finale against Oklahoma before playing far from fully healthy in the Sugar Bowl. The Cowboys lost all three of those games after a 10-0 start.When we finished spring ball, he was very close to being pain free, Gundy said Monday, the first day of Big 12 football media days.I would guess that he feels like he did prior to the injury, and hes had a really good summer. ... He looks really good. His strength levels are the highest theyve ever been.While the Cowboys get a healthy Rudolph back, TCU has former Texas A&M transfer Kenny Hill and sophomore Foster Sawyer competing to succeed dual-threat quarterback Trevone Boykin.Its going to be a healthy (competition). They improved this spring, Horned Frogs coach Gary Patterson said. Im kind of excited about this season.Oklahoma State and TCU finished tied for second in the conference last season behind champion Oklahoma, which is the overwhelming preseason pick this season to win its 10th Big 12 title after last season becoming the leagues first team to make the new College Football Playoff. The Horned Frogs and Cowboys are picked to finish second and third, respectively, in that media poll.The Sooners will be among five teams to take part Tuesday in the second day of media days, joining Baylor, Kansas State, Texas and West Virginia.Baylor was still prominent Monday, with Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby addressing several questions about the sexual assault scandal that led to the departure of coach Art Briles, plus the demotion of school President Ken Starr and resignation of athletic director Ian McCaw.Mack Rhoades, who had been at Missouri the past 15 months, was introduced as Baylors new AD in Dallas.Also Monday at Big 12 football media days:HEAVY HEART: Second-year Kansas coach David Beaty, whose late father was a retired Dallas police officer, said he was excited to be home, but that his heart hurts for Dallas and other communities across the country that are suffering and in pain.The Big 12 media days are at the Omni Dallas, a downtown Dallas hotel only a couple of blocks from where a shooter killed five officers on July 7, after police-involved shootings in Baton Rouge, Louisiana; and Minnesota the previous two days. Then on Sunday, three Baton Rouge law enforcement officers investigating a report of a man with an assault rifle were killed.I pray that we will begin to listen to one another, love one another and get to the hard work of healing our nation, to the issues that were facing right now, Beaty said.I believe that college football can be an example in the midst of our struggles in America. Young men from all walks of life, different backgrounds coming together, listening to one another, working hard together, learning from one another, fighting together for a common goal. I think society can learn a lot from these young and Im excited about working with some of them at KU.OFF THE DIAMOND: Patrick Mahomes has gone from two-sport athlete at Texas Tech to standout starting quarterback.After leading the nation with 393 total yards per game last season, the dual-threat quarterback gave up baseball to focus solely on the gridiron. Coach Kliff Kingsbury expects that to make Mahomes a more refined, athletic and polished quarterback.Its the first full offseason hes ever had as a football player ... the weight room, film with his teammates, working on mechanics and working on his footwork, Kingsbury said.He worked on becoming a better all-around quarterback and last year made spectacular plays, really carried us at times, moving around and making things happen. This year, were going to work on things with him, when the ordinary play is there lets take it. When you have to be extraordinary, you have that ability to go do it.Mahomes father, Pat, played for six different teams over 11 seasons in Major League Baseball.The younger Mahomes, who appeared in three Tech baseball games during the 2015 season, threw for 4,653 yards while 36 touchdowns last fall while running for 456 yards and 10 touchdowns.NEW KID IN TOWN: Matt Campbell was introduced last November as Iowa States head coach on his 36th birthday, and is the youngest head coach for any Power Five conference team.Campbell, 35-15 in the past four-plus seasons at Toledo, supplanted Kingsbury as the youngest Power Five coach.

DAVIE, Fla. -- The Miami Dolphins returned to South Florida from their latest win at 5 a.m. Sunday and were back at work a few hours later, smiling and chatty and betraying no signs of a short nights sleep.Theyre too busy savoring success.Winning is fun, guard Jermon Bushrod said. Thats what we get paid to do. You want to be in meaningful games in December, and you just want to win, because winning feels real good.Its a new sensation in these parts, with the Dolphins (9-5) now assured of their first winning season since 2008 following Saturday nights 34-13 drubbing of the New York Jets .But the Dolphins are focused on a more ambitious achievement -- making the playoffs. They can end a seven-season playoff drought by sweeping their final two regular-season games, and could even clinch next weekend.The more you win, the more pressure the next game is, Bushrod said. Saturday was a big game for us, but it wont be the biggest. I dont want that to be the biggest game we play. I want us to keep finding a way to win, because thats what good teams do.With eight victories in the past nine games, the Dolphins are clearly better than in recent years, and the weeks to come will help determine how good they are. They play Saturday at Buffalo and then conclude the regular season Jan. 1 against New England.Miami regained control of its fate Sunday when Denver lost to New England . The Dolphins moved ahead of the Broncos (8-6) in the race for the final AFC wild-card spot, and will clinch a berth next weekend if they win and Denver loses at Kansas City.Nobody preaches one week at a time more than first-year coach Adam Gase, and when asked if he allows himself even a moment to be excited about his teams success, he stuck with a response so familiar he considered it not even worth quoting.I think you know what my answer is going to be, Gase said. Its wasting paper and the internet. But that has been a great thing our players have embraced: Focus on what were doing right now.We pllay until somebody tells us not to.dddddddddddd We just need to stick with that mantra.The Jets sure couldnt stop them. The Dolphins completed their first sweep of their division rivals since 2009 as Matt Moore threw a career-high four touchdown passes in his first start since 2011.I think I got a good pulse of the guys and how they were feeling, and even if I didnt, I would probably fake it, Moore said. But I felt really good, and I knew the guys felt good.They looked good, too. Kenny Stills had a reception covering at least 50 yards for the third time this year. Jarvis Landry turned a short pass into a 66-yard touchdown and surpassed 1,000 yards for the season, and Jay Ajayi became a 1,000-yard rusher.On defense, Cameron Wake had a strip sack and his first career interception, and Tony Lippett added two interceptions, while Walt Aikens scored on special teams for the second week in a row.With quarterback Ryan Tannehill sidelined by a knee injury, the Dolphins found a way to compensate, as theyve done with season-ending injuries to their best defensive back (Reshad Jones) and best offensive lineman (Mike Pouncey).Once again, somebody goes down, and everybody rallies and steps up their game, Gase said. You dont hear our guys putting their head down and being upset. Its that rallying cry of next man up.As a reward, most of the Dolphins have a shot at the first playoff game of their career.This is an amazing feeling to be in the position that we are in, Landry said. I cant remember in past years how many Dolphins teams were above .500 at this point in the year. So for us to be where we are is a testament to the hard work weve put in.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Steven Wine on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Steve-Wine .
