DJ Graham, Cornerback
The secondary showed up when it needed to on Saturday. The unit received the lowest grade in Bryant Crews’ weekly report card after a mixed bag performance. On the one hand, it allowed the Cornhuskers offense to stay on the field by allowing 13 passing first downs.
On the other, it held Martinez under 300 yards and made the two biggest plays of the game. An incredible Pat Fields’ PAT return and this one-handed masterpiece by D.J Graham.

It would have been a difficult catch for Cornhuskers’ receiver Levi Falck to make, but Graham’s interception denied Nebraska a red zone visit and a go-ahead scoring opportunity.
Graham, a converted wide receiver, brings excellent ball skills to OU’s secondary. Those skills were on full display with the pivotal interception midway through the fourth quarter.
