Iowa football’s 55-24 drubbing of Ohio State is the gift that keeps on giving.
On Saturday night former Iowa safety Miles Taylor Tweeted he was auctioning off his jersey, helmet and cleats from the game, with the proceeds going towards the UI Children’s hospital.
Auctioning off my Alternate Black Iowa Jersey, Helmet, and Cleats worn in the win of Ohio State to raise money for the UI Children’s Hospital! All of the money is going to go the hospital! Let’s get the most we can for these kids! Its the least we can do! Who’s in?! Starts now!!

Fellow defensive back Josh Jackson saw what Taylor was doing and wanted to throw his name in the ring and join in on the fun:
