Malcom Rodriguez has found his perfect fit:
“It was a good play call by coach (Jim) Knowles,” Rodriguez said, referring to OSU’s defensive coordinator. “We acted like we were blitzing, a fake bluff blitz. We dropped out, I just read the quarterback’s eyes and I ended up picking it off and taking it to the house.”
Rodriguez made the play of the game and led all players with 11 tackles. He also had a pass breakup on an Iowa State third-down play that helped earn him Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week honors.
