STILLWATER — Oklahoma State’s linebacker depth chart has mostly resembled the age-old duck metaphor: calm and steady on top, nothing but chaos beneath the surface.
The transition of Malcolm Rodriguez from safety to linebacker to aid the steadiness has been one of the most valuable moves the defense has made this season.
The man next to Rodriguez, redshirt junior Amen Ogbongbemiga, has drawn less fanfare, yet he could be the biggest key to containing his counterpart in the No. 11 jersey this week — Texas quarterback Sam Ehlinger.
