How bout Josh Jackson vs Morgan Jr battle

Loved watching 2 of the best going one on one yesterday. Thought Jackson had that pick but Morgan kept fighting it out. Hope Jackson stays to help anchor the DBs but can't blame him if he goes pro.
I loved it.
 
For anyone in the know...was Jackson passing off SMJ to the safety on those touchdowns? It looked like he may have been expecting help.

Not in the know, but it looked like Jackson thought (I think it was) Gervase had Morgan, but Jake followed the other receiver who did a post over the middle of the field.

It appeared to me to be a miscommunication. Not sure who the fault would lie with
 
It was a great battle. Morgan set the single season receiving record in the game but fell just short of 1,000 yds. Hope he comes back for his senior year
 
Would love to have him back next year, but he should bolt if he goes through pro drills and is expected to be a second day draft pick. I believe he redshirted and would be on track to graduate in the spring?
 
On the 2nd TD it looked like Iowa was in cover 2 and NB called a great route combination to beat the cover 2. Safety was caught having to decide and was slow to react but it was the right call by NB on Cover 2. Pressure would have helped.

1st TD was a great catch by morgan. Not sure what the coverage was.

I wish TV would do a better job of showing wider views in replay with an explanation of coverages. It would be fun to have and all 22 option for games.
 
To be honest I thought he was held on the catch.... happened right in front of me. Not a big deal though...he made the catch.

Wow, even when Iowa gets a beat down win they don’t concede the obvious. Typical message board Iowa fan.

I see you knew exactly what was going on in that play and I'll tell you it wasn't a hold.
 
Jackson did grab Morgan on the play They showed it back on reply and Morgan made an outstanding catch. That was good football, those two were going at it all game. I wanted Jackson to come up with that ball when they both had it, But Morgan is tough & That was very high level football right there both probably play on Sunday next year
