CB Prince Amukamara, Nebraska (6'1, 200) -- I have a hard time believing he's taller than six feet. He looks shorter than Dennard. For a guy who prides himself on playing physically -- bump and run, downfield hand-fighting -- he ran into a receiver who was bigger, stronger and tougher than him.

I can excuse getting fooled on the flea-flicker, it happens, but Weeden's pass was so underthrown that Amukamara still had time to catch up with Blackmon -- he just couldn't make a play on the ball. That was the story of their match-up: Whenever Blackmon (who's listed at 6'1 himself) needed to make a catch, he just body-screened and out-jumped Amukamara.

Overall, not a good afternoon for him. There are a lot of big, strong receivers in the NFL and Amukamara needs to show much better ball skills than he did against Oklahoma State.

CB Alonzo Dennard, Nebraska (5'10, 195) -- Probably had the best day of anybody in Nebraska's secondary (not saying much; Hagg and Gomes were brutal). Smooth backpedal and has good short-area burst when it comes to playing zone. Can run with most receivers and plays the ball decently, although his hands could be better. Overall, solid.
