Re: The cornerback situation
The way cox is playing I'm sure he could play corner. (Purple) just hope bridges plays another great game like Friday. Definitely looks like a great move switching him to defense. Hope that dom Davis is back and wimbush can play.

It was at some point in the first half as he was on the sidelines during half time warmups. I assume some sort of knee injury as there was no bending of the knee as he moved around the side line.

You lost me here?

I'm guessing he is referring to facing jmu without our starting cb's is a lot better than facing sdsu without Allison and winbush

I don't think you need to purple-ize that comment about Cox. He was constantly lined up over SHSU's slot receiver last Friday night. It's not an ideal situation but he's probably not much worse in pass coverage than NDSU's nickel corner right now and he's light years better against the run. JMU runs a lot of jet sweep action based on their games that I've watched so I doubt Cox ever leaves the field given how good in pursuit he is.

I think playing nickel against JMU is the worst thing we could do. With shaky CB play, we will need to get a ton of pressure on the QB if we stand a chance of stopping these guys.

We're not going to have to. With the exception of chuck and duck to that new kid, they don't have much of a passing game.

Don't they still have those big, tall, athletic receivers?
I'll admit, I haven't watched any JMU games with the exception of the second half of the bunnies game.

They have on kid, Riley Stapleton who seems to bail them out on 3rd down a lot. The other ones, if any, weren't notable.
Re: The cornerback situation
Their slot guy, All's, is an FBS transfer with some talent. They use him a lot like we used Ryan Smith. Stapleton has been good for them the past two games, sounds like the playoffs have kind of been good coming out party. Their two backs are talented and tackling them all day will take a toll. Schorr doesn't scare me. He is efficient but I wouldn't consider him special in any facet of the QB position.
