UTEP has 2 JUCO DE's coming in on visits this weekend. When you watch the HUDL on both of these DE's, you see that they played on 4 DL lines in JUCO. Playing DE on a 3 man D line has different responsibilities that playing DE on a 4 man D line. It usually requires more size, which I am not sure that these guys have. Is Cox going to break his stubbornness and play more 4 man D line, or his he going to try to force these DE's into playing on a 3 man D line?
I really liked Cox coming into this season, but seeing his stubbornness of staying in a 3 D line defense against a predominantly rushing UAB team while continuously getting run over, along with an inability to stop the bootleg pass against Charlotte play-after-play-after-play, really raised some major red flags.
