No, I'm not insinuating that at all...wnd maybe that's the difference. You're probably right. And therein is why Blackmon is there and not Fuller. Fuller is still a stud and will make a lot of money on Sunday, but Blackmon is unreal.

Lot of Huskers in the media's All-B12 team too.

Nebraska didn't sell out to stop Blackmon. Nebraska played him man on man with safety help over the top - just like against every other WR we faced this year. And yeah we got burned a couple times on under-throws (OSU's QB always overthrew in previous games and the DB's anticipated he'd do it again.. they under-threw on purpose and it was a good change-up from their staff that worked for a half) But even then other than a flea-flicker that the safeties left Prince out to dry on... Blackmon didn't exactly light us up. Hunter lit us up a bit though.
