A Pittsburgh radio co-host made good on his bet against former OSU quarterback Mason Rudolph on Thursday.

WDVE's Bill Crawford made a bet in August that Rudolph, who entered last season as the Pittsburgh Steeler's third-string quarterback, wouldn't start a game and throw a touchdown. If Crawford lost, he'd have to float down a river in a Rudolph jersey and jean shorts while wearing a helmet.

Rudolph ultimately got the start in a Week 16 home game against Cincinnati on Dec. 23, and he threw two touchdowns to lead Pittsburgh to a 34-11 victory. Crawford posted a video on X of him making good on his bet on Thursday.

Rudolph spent four seasons at OSU (2014-17). He ranks first in program history in career passing yards (13,618), passing touchdowns (92) and wins as a starting quarterback (32).

Pittsburgh selected Rudolph in the third round (No. 76 overall) of the 2018 NFL Draft. He threw for 3,085 yards, 19 touchdowns and 11 interceptions during his time with the Steelers.

Rudolph signed a one-year, $3.6 million deal with the Tennessee Titans on March 13. He'll compete with Malik Willis to be Will Levis' primary backup.
