No reason to toss and turn. Not when your name is Prince Amukamara and you sleeping in one of those plush hotels in New York City where they put 6 pillows on your bed. Not when you know they are going to call your name in the first round and your going to be walking down the aisle on a red carpet wearing fancy threads. Former Nebraska cornerback Prince Amukamara only has to sit back and relax. Amukamara is expected to be No.7 if the San Fransisco 49ers snatch him up. He worst case scenario would be No.13. But,even then Amuakamra would join forces with former All-American Husker Ndamukong Suh. So nothing could really be "bad" for Prince. Nobody see's him going lower then No.13. If you want to see the NFL draft its starts at 7:00PM tomorrow night.
The first and second round will be tomorrow,followed by the third and fourth round Friday at 5:00PM and then the the finish on Saturday night at 9:00Pm.

Spring Game. Segement 1: Highlights
The Nebraska Cornhusker football team had their annual Red-White spring game on Saturday,April 16th. It was a very,very close game. The Red team ended up winning by a field goal. Many promising things loom in the air for the Huskers,most notably Wide receiver Jamal Turner. This guy can catch balls,run very fast,and do sweet front flips into the end zone!! (Aka-Not something you would want to see happen in a real game. He [Turner] received a personal foul for over celebration because of it.) Turner will be very,very effective for the Huskers throughout his career at Nebraska. Another player whom I saw to be very effective as well,was Quarterback Brion Carnes. Carnes is the nephew of former famed Husker quarterback Tommie Frazier. If he turns out to be half of what his uncle was,Nebraska is in luck!! Carnes can throw,run the option,and make great fakes. He has a lot of things to work on,but with the help of OC Tim Beck,and a lot of hard work and practice,Brion could end up being a very talented young man.
Who said Alex Henery was irreplaceable!? (I did!!) New kickers Brett Maher and Ethan Davis have come to try and keep Nebraska's Specialists corps one of the best in the nation. They do have big shoes to fill though. Its not easy to succeed somebody like Alex Henery. From watching Maher and Davis,I saw a lot of power in their leg and feet. Most notably Maher who kicks dynamite!! He also made the winning field goal. Already getting started are we?(: Overall I see a lot of promise in both Maher and Davis. Nebraska is known to have one of the top Specialists corps in the nation,and I don't see why Maher and Davis can't keep it that way.(:
T-Magic,T-Mart,or T-shows promise? What should I call this young sophomore quarterback? Eh,I think I'll just stick with his birth name Taylor for now. What did I see out of Taylor on Saturday? Well,he didn't play a ton,but from what I see he shows promise. I can tell that he has matured,and progressed throughout the spring. He also has a little bit of that "T-Magic" speed back. He dosen't limp anymore when he is through playing,and he looks almost 100%. He missed a couple of passes,but ran the offense smoothly. Like I said he has matured,but I think it'll be a little while before we see the Taylor we saw at the beginning of last season. When you go through a humbling time like Taylor did after he got injured V.S Missouri,you are never quite the same.
Ah,now we get to one of my favorite parts. The running backs!! Nebraska is the "Running Back University." We have always been known to produce great running backs. This year Rex Burkhead leads a RB corp of talented but young running backs. RB coach Ron Brown will have more students when Aaron Green,and Amaur Abullah get here this summer. Burkhead didn't play a whole lot,but I can tell that he has matured greatly. Most notably in the speed department.We've always known that he fights until he can't carry anymore tacklers,but now all he has to do is run right through 'em!! Rex has a lot of potential and momentum,and I guarntee you he will be pushing the others for the job as the starter. Another running back I saw a lot out of was Tyler Legate. Legate shows speed,but he has the ability to cut though open gaps without anybody seeing him. The "Invisible Husker" is what I like to call him. Needless to say,he scored 2 touchdowns. If Legate keeps it up,he'll have every defense in the Big Ten,guessing.
That about wraps it up for this segment. I'll have much more in the near future. But, before I go I have something to tell you. Guess who won the Spring game? The Huskers!!
