    Re: David Irons' Bowl Game

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Irons' strong play is a big reason Auburn limited Nebraska to just 146 passing yards and made RB Marlon Lucky the Cornhuskers' leading receiver in the AT&T Cotton Bowl. Irons also filled hard when he read run and tackled fairly well. However, the absence of a big play is a little unsettling, because Irons' ball skills have been scrutinized in the past.Irons' 12 pass breakups this year are a testament to his positioning, athletic ability and instincts. But he still isn't doing a great job of holding onto the ball when he gets his hands on it. His lack of playmaking skills, combined with concerns about his size and ability to match up with bigger receivers, could cause him to slip come draft day. Since he won't be able to answer these criticisms at the combine or during workouts, the importance of a strong Senior Bowl cannot be overstated.</div>
