Versatile Oregon Ducks safety Ugo Amadi is a big play waiting to happen

EUGENE a Ugo Amadi is the Oregon Ducks' one-man matchup advantage.

The senior safety can cover like a cornerback, hit like a linebacker, and isn't somebody an opposing quarterback wants to see coming free on a blitz.

Amadi sacked the quarterback and returned an intercepted pass 38 yards for a touchdown against Bowling Green, one of three players on the FBS level to do both in the same game this season.

The UO coaches love his varied skill set. He can play center field in pass coverage or man-up against either a small, quick slot receiver or hulking tough end.
