Among the pantheon of football plays, the swing pass is one of the more basic, but the key was Meeker did not have to slow down to catch the ball. Rather, his momentum was going forward as he made the catch, so he could easily turn up his jets.

Two plays later from the Brown 32, Rose connected with Morris on a five-yard-out pattern that Morris took an additional six. Again, Rose delivered the ball in a timely and accurate fashion which enabled Morris to nearly get in the red zone.

The ability to make a quick read and accurate throw is not flashy when the ball only travels five yards in the air, but it acts as the catalyst for players like Morris to take those five yards and tack on considerable additional ones.

If you take those yards after the catch and sprinkle in the usual tricks Murphy always calls, a big-play offense emerges. Suddenly the Crimson has the ability to knock off a Brown squad that many thought would win the Ivy League (despite being technically prohibited from the championship due to its recruitment violations).

Harvard had lost six of its last seven meetings against Brown, and the Bears didn't really take the Crimson's offense seriously coming into the game.

"We saw what they could do, looking at the end of their game against Holy Cross," Brown Coach Phil Estes said. "They have some good football players and we made them look like superstars."

The Bears saw Harvard's talent at wide receiver but thought it had more than enough to compensate. Morris on Saturday was simply that damn good. The whole wideout corps made Rose look like a budding star behind the center. Taken together, this offense can only get better, and that should be a breath of fresh air for this program.

Just give Morris the ball.
