I was at the West Mich game and Nick Jackson was turning around quite a but pre-snap getting his assignment and maybe tipoffs from Schulte mainly but also Higgins. Nick was interviewed after yesterday's game as he was chosen a defensive player of the game and they asked him about his time with Iowa and with PParker. The main thing I heard was that Iowa's defense looks simple to run but there is a lot of nuance and rules to it.Our D seems to have improved recently, not sure how, but they have.
If Deacon keeps it slowed down like he started to in Q3 we're in good shape.
So I think Nick is really showing up the last 4-5 games and being instinctive and quicker to the ball. Jemari Harris is breaking up more passes than when he first came back when he made some mistakes. So with those two positions playing better it all adds up. Black and the DLine is playing great. A few posters early in the year wanted Logan Lee benched, my gawd how stupid. X is steady and he will make a few big plays yet.
