After only starting one game last year for the Iowa Hawkeyes, cornerback Joshua Jackson is one of the biggest impact players on their defense. The 6’1”, 200 pound redshirt junior has length, physicality, a great demeanor and is coming off the best game of his career.
Big 10 games are classically low scoring boxing matches and Iowa’s 17-10 win over Minnesota was no different. Minnesota had no passing touchdowns and only completed nine passes and the Gophers inefficiency can be largely attributed to Joshua Jackson locking down their wide receivers. Jackson was on the Minnesota receivers like white on rice in a snowstorm.
