Malcolm Rodriguez’s seamless transition linebacker
The Cowboys needed more speed at linebacker and Rodriguez provides it.
Some one-on-one conversations with defensive coordinator Jim Knowles and graduate assistant Shane Eachus, who helps with linebackers, eased Rodriguez’s mind quickly. Within three or four days of the change, he had settled in.
And without Bundage, the linebacker group’s most explosive athlete, Rodriguez brings quickness that would otherwise be missing.
“That’s just putting more speed on the field, which is always good for a defense,” safety Tre Sterling said of Rodriguez’s move. “We have a lot more speed on the field now that Malcolm is there.” The Oklahoman
Listed at 6 feet tall and 205 pounds — though Gundy says he’s closer to 215 — Rodriguez is a little smaller than your prototypical linebacker. But his strength and physical nature seem to make up for it.

McNeese State’s starting QB has some advice for Mike Gundy’ s son
Cody Orgeron, son of LSU head coach Ed Orgeron, wants Gunnar Gundy to know that he doesn’t have to play for his dad.
“My advice is 10 out of 10 go elsewhere,” Cody said. “Every chance you get, go make a name for yourself instead of having things just given to you because of a title or what your last name is or who you’re related to.
“Just throw all that out the window would be my advice, and go earn your keep. Actually showing people you belong there is the biggest sense of accomplishment.” The Oklahoman
Karsten Creek suffers flood damage
The beautiful Karsten Creek Golf Course that the Cowboy golf team plays on suffered massive damage from heavy rain this summer and won’t be fully repaired until next May.
#okstate Mike Holder on Karsten Creek flood damage sustained in May-June: “It will be next May before we’re back to normal. We lost two greens – on 12 and 11 – and a couple of fairways. We lost a third of the 18 green and a third of the 17 green."
