Terrance Upshaw vs Marcus Cox

[WVAppsfan]

I am listening to the Black and Gold podcast and they are debating the running styles and play of Marcus and Terrance.

They each have a style and they complement each other well. I say again put them in the same backfield, go old school.

I agree that I would like to see some of this especially with the H-Back position not blocking as well compared to last year. We have 5 RB that can contribute so getting them worn down shouldn't be an issue.

I think we'll some two back sets at some point in the season. With their difference in styles, they both have a place in App's O. I'd like to see the coaches try Upshaw at H-back, if he has the skills to lead block, for a handful of plays each game to add a new wrinkle. Definitely not saying I don't want to see him at RB behind Cox but with his speed, he'd give defenses fits from the H-back position. Have him come out and lead block on 2 or 3 plays then run play action and put Upshaw out on a wheel route against a LB or into a screen. It would give the offense another weapon with the ability to take it to the house and something else for opposing DC's to worry about.

I wish we still had George Vinson to play the H-Back position......did he end up going anywhere?

Isnt Marcus playing with some nagging lower body injury?

He is still on the University directory so it seems he is still a student -- just not on the team right now.

We've tried that, it lead to a whopping 1-5 start.

But isn't the O Line better? Than last year?

Let's a play a game against somebody other than Howard or Clemson before we decide.

I LOVE watching Upshaw run the ball.
One of his first carries against Michigan last year went for an explosive ~20 yards and really opened my eyes. He just looks like a powerful runner looking to take on any defender that gets in his way.

Really like Cox as well as he seems to just effortlessly slice through defenses.
Great Combo

We have that in back to back games with ODU and Wyoming, nice tests before we enter Sunbelt play

[WVAppsfan]

That is a real test for us, the back to back to games with ODU and Wyoming.

Replying to yourself?

I guess? I thought I was replying to someone else, but the next two games are the key for conference play.
