Quarterback Cooper Rush continued to impress for the Cowboys this pre-season. After the Raiders returned a forced fumble for a 65-yard touchdown against Rush, the rookie responded early in the fourth quarter with an 11-play, 85-yard touchdown drive, capped by a seven-yard scoring pass to Ronnie Hillman to pull the Cowboys to within 20-17.

In the fourth quarter, Rush hit Lance Lenoir down the middle for a 44-yard, go-ahead scoring strike to give the Cowboys a 24-20 lead with 7:02 remaining in the game.

Rush has completed 38 of 51 passes for 398 yards and six touchdowns and no interceptions during the pre-season.
