RIO DE JANEIRO -- American Jordan Burroughs stunning loss in Fridays Olympic wrestling tournament re-opened the debate over the worlds best pound-for-pound freestyle competitor.The Russian Tank just might be next in line.Abdulrashid Sadulaev is 20 years old and a two-time world champion. He captured his first Olympic title Saturday at the Rio Games.Sadulaev rolled past Turkeys Selim Yasar 5-0 for his third consecutive world title and his third gold at the Rio Games.Sadulaev was as dominant as any wrestler had been in Rio yet, outscoring his opponents 28-1 in clinching his fifth straight world championship dating to his days in junior competitions.Of course (I think) Im the championship favorite, Sadulaev said. But this is the Olympics. Its full of surprises.Not for Sadulaev, who scored on a pair of two-point moves late in the first period in beating Yasar in the world final for the second year in a row.American JDen Cox, beaten by Yasar in a somewhat baffling loss in the semifinals, scored a takedown with six seconds left to win bronze and give the U.S. its first freestyle medal of these games.HEAVYWEIGHT: MEDAL ALERT: Turkish heavyweight Taha Akgul won the gold medal, beating Irans Komeil Ghasemi 3-1 Saturday to become just the third wrestler from Turkey to win Olympic gold in freestyle. Akgul has now won three consecutive world titles after finishing just ninth at the London Games. Akgul was nearly as impressive as Sadulaev was, notching two technical falls and an 8-1 to reach the finals.COX MAKES UP FOR MISCUE: Cox, a two-time NCAA champion at the University of Missouri, made a surprise run to the semifinals -- where confusion contributed to his defeat. Yasar scored first by successfully defending after Cox had been put on the shot clock for passivity. Cox tied the score at 1-all on a push out and didnt wrestle aggressively after that because he thought he held the tiebreaker as the last wrestler to score. But the edge actually went to Yasar because of rules designed to encourage action, and Cox lost a challenge and the match 2-1. I honestly didnt know I was losing, Cox said. Cox redeemed himself in his bronze-medal match, scoring to beat the shot clock against Cubas Reineris Salas Perez -- a move that was ruled scoreless on the mat but overturned on review. Sala Perez refused to return and was disqualified. I dont think it was as much about redemption as much as it was just something I had to do, Cox said.DLAGNEVS DAY: Like Cox, American heavyweight Tervel Dlagnev went further than many thought he would before being stopped a match before the gold-medal bout. Dlagnev is an experienced heavyweight who was fifth at the London Games, but back trouble that nearly ended his career the week of the U.S. Olympic Team Trials figured to limit his chances in Rio. Dlagnev won two matches, Ghasemi got him on four consecutive gut wrenches, all two-pointers, for a 10-0 win. Dlagnev also fell 10-0 in the bronze medal match, likely his last in international competition. Howie Long Womens Jersey .

STILLWATER, Okla. -- The struggling Texas defense will be tested again when it faces Oklahoma States explosive offense on the road.The 22nd-ranked Longhorns gave up 47 points in a win over Notre Dame and 50 in a loss to California. Oklahoma State is capable of doing just as much damage. The Cowboys average 39 points and feature one of the nations top pro quarterback prospects in Mason Rudolph.The Texas loss at California left coach Charlie Strong promising to get more involved in the defense, but hes resisted pressure to fire defensive coordinator Vance Bedford.We know weve had our issues on defense, and I have a lot of confidence in Vance Bedford, and I know Vance is going to do a good job, Strong said. We had a lot of time to sit by and just go look at the games that weve played this season and just how much better we could have been. And I said to him, its just three errors.The Longhorns will need to limit errors against the Cowboys. Rudolph entered the week ranked 11th nationally with 1,296 yards passing. The strong-armed junior passed for a school-record 540 yards against Pittsburgh, and he faces a secondary that has allowed nine passing touchdowns in the first three games. The Cowboys also are having some success running the ball with the tandem of Justice Hill and Rennie Childs doing most of the damage.Texas (2-1, 0-0 Big 12) can get a leg up in the conference race with a win and put Oklahoma State (2-2, 0-1) in a bind to start league play. If the Longhorns lose and cant slow Oklahoma States offense, Bedford said he will accept responsibility.I look at myself first, he said. I will never put the blame on a player or system. Look at yourself first and see what you can do to help the players be successful.Here are some things to watch on Saturday::PERKINS SUSPENDED: Senior offensive guard Kent Perkins has been suspended following his arrest last week for allegedly driving while intoxicated.dddddddddddd The teams most experienced offensive lineman was arrested last Friday.Perkins apologized to the team.Im really grateful that I didnt cause injury to somebody else, you know, he said.

Hes a playmaker who can beat defenses down the field or turn a short pass into a long gain.YOUNG GUN: Freshman quarterback Shane Buechele had his first rough game in his first road contest against Cal, getting briefly knocked out of the first half with a rib injury and throwing a key interception that set up a score in the loss. Now he faces a trip to Stillwater and a loud, hostile environment and no Perkins protecting him.AUSSIE RULES FOOTBALL: Texas punter Michael Dicksons fumbled snap and 10-yard punt set up Oklahoma States winning field goal season.
