When you look at some of the stats from Stanley Morgan’s performance against Illinois on Saturday, it is more than a little impressive.
Three receptions for 70 yards and two touchdowns — 37 and 32 yards on the scoring plays. Pretty good game right there.
Funny thing, though. Those were just the first-quarter numbers for Morgan, who finished with eight catches for 131 yards in NU’s 54-35 victory.
He also hogged a bunch of the post-game highlight notes from the Husker communications folks, and rightfully so. Not his fault. OK, maybe it is.
Morgan is now second on the Husker career receiving yards list with 2,599 yards.
