Defensive Player To Watch vs. Oklahoma: Mike Rose Share this story Brian Powers-USA TODAY Sports To win a championship, you need your stars to come out when the lights are brightest. Mike Rose is going to have to play a big role in stopping this Oklahoma offense on Saturday if they want to do just that. On the season, Rose has 81 total tackles and 1.5 sacks, including 11 total tackles and a half of a sack in the first matchup with Oklahoma. He’s the team leader in tackles and he also happens to have the most interceptions in the country among linebackers with 4. Matching up against Oklahoma, Rose is going to be paired up against a ton of players with a wide variety of skills. A tough assignment for anyone, but Rose takes it all in stride.
