Two players who figure to be key defenders on the OSU defense this season missed their second consecutive game on Saturday.
Linebacker Calvin Bundage and defensive lineman Israel Antwine were both ruled out ahead of Saturday’s home-opener as The Oklahoman’s Scott Wright reported. Bundage remains out as he deals with an ongoing back injury. It’s unclear the explanation for Antwine’s absence, but at this time it is believed unrelated to any injury.
Bundage was listed as the No. 2 linebacker behind Malcolm Rodriguez, who moved from safety to inside the box, just before the season began.
