Posted Nov 5, 2006

Defensive backs coaches who want to give clinics on how not to play cornerback should get film of the third quarter. Notre Dame's Terrail Lambert was abused by Hakeem Nicks for 150 yards and two touchdowns in that quarter. And North Carolina's Jacoby Watkins made a horrible adjustment to the ball on a 42-yard scoring reception by Jeff Samardzija. (Charlotte Observer)
