Cyclone linebackers adjust to new roles,

AMES (MCT) — By the numbers, Jeremiah George had a huge game Saturday against Oklahoma in a new, bigger role for Iowa State’s defense.

George piled up a career-high 17 tackles, with one tackle for loss and he tipped a Landry Jones second-quarter pass that was intercepted by safety Durrell Givens.

It was the type of production the Cyclones needed in their first game without all-conference linebacker Jake Knott, who is out for the rest of the year with a shoulder injury.
