5 Senior Prospects to Focus On Saturday on one against
ed play (68.1% completion rate, 162 TD-INT ratio) is a major factor in Iowa's 5-2 beginning. This game begins at 3:30 pm EST and will be televised by ABC. CB Janoris Jenkins, Florida* : I typically only highlight senior prospects in this preview, but this is the game I've circled all year long in grading Jenkins. At times, he'll be matched up against Georgia star A.J. Green and that pairing offers scouts an opportunity to see how the playmaking, but undersized Jenkins might hold up in the NFL. Jenkins started off the season with a huge interception and return for a score in the opener against an overmatched Miami (Ohio) club, but hasn't done nearly as well since. If he is to consider leaving early for the NFL, as is the belief among many scouts, he'll need to step up his game soon. This game begins at 3:30 pm EST and will be televised by CBS. CB Prince Amukamara, Nebraska : In case you missed it, Amukamara was beaten up a bit by sophomore Justin Blackmon during last weekend's showdown against Oklahoma State. Bl. nfl wholesale ackmon, the nation's leading receiver with 62 grabs for 1,112 yards and 14 TDs already caught five passes for 157 yards and two scores, including a dazzling 80-yard score matched up one on one against Amukamara. I pointed out Cornhusker Niles Paul last week as a player who enjoyed a strong bounce-back performance after a prime-time meltdown. Scouts would like to see how Amukamara reacts Saturday after his uncharacteristic struggles. Amukamara and the rest of the 'Huskers will certainly have their hands full against a dynamic Mizzou offense led by junior quarterback Blaine Gabbert. This game begins at 3:30 pm EST and will be televised by ABC. DL Brandon Bair, Oregon: With the Ducks' offense seemingly scoring points at will, it has been hard for any Oregon defender to gain much attention, but with a conference-leading 13 tackles for loss, the 6-6 268 pound Bair certainly deserves it. Bair, who sees action at both defensive end and defensive tackle for the. cheap jerseys Ducks, could prove key in the big Pac-10 matchup Satu Saturday, Clayborn was credited with three tackles with an assisted sack. But he had a bigger impact on the game than those statistics may indicate.When the Wolverines' Heisman Trophy candidate, quarterback Denard Robinson, was in the game, Clayborn's primary responsibility was to force the explosive runner inside so his linebackers could stop him. Trying to rush upfield would only increase the size of the running lane. On multiple occasions, Robinson started to his left but Clayborn's presence forced him to head to the other side of the field. In fact, on the play which Robinson hurt his shoulder in the third quarter, 94's ability to stay outside of the quarterback forced him into traffic instead of getting the sideline, in a way assisting in taking the dangerous QB out of the game. Also, Clayborn blocked a field goal in the second. NFL Jerseys quarter that maintained a 14-7 lead for the Hawkeyes. He literally ran over his blocker on the field goal team and got his hand up to deflect the kick on his way to the ground. He also knocked tight ends off their routes as they came off the line of scrimmage, gave himself up on tackle-end twists so Karl Klug could get pressures, and even dropped into coverage late in the game (though Michigan wound up getting a deep ball on the play).When Robinson looked sure to pass early in the game, Clayborn displayed the strong hands scouts have been gushing about to leave freshman tackle Taylor Lewan in the dust and attack the passer. On his first tackle of the game, ripped down Lewan's jersey yet again, disengaged and stopped power back Stephen Hopkins in his tracks. Throughout the game, Clayborn ripped his hands across Lewan's body, getting around the tall tackle to chase plays from behind (which he needed to do because Michigan ran to the strong side often).His assisted sack late in the fourth quarter flashed the pass rush ability scouts hope to see more of.
