Brandon Cox Is Trying to Kill the Auburn WRs

Auburn is leading the USF Bulls 17-14 at the half. The Tigers have picked up the defensive pursuit. Special teams look sharp. The O-line is opening up holes. The running game looks strong. QB Brandon Cox wants to put his wide receivers in traction.

Little seems to have changed with Cox from last year. He still makes key mistakes. He is sailing his passes, throwing off the back foot and generally exposing his receivers to taking huge licks as they keep leaping for the erratic passes.

The Bulls have one of the the best defensive back units in the country and are happy to take shots at the exposed receivers. CBs Mike Jenkins and Trae Williams are almost lining up their shots. If Cox keeps putting the WRs in harm's way they will either be carted off, or begin to pull back a bit from the potential risk.

Should be a fun second half.
