holy toledo

for some odd reason, I’m addicted to Bacon Bits today… anyways

Note to world: add the name Dave Cox to the likes of Willie Beamon and Matt Saracen.

Toledo (the top team in the MAC and my FS in my Browns chise is from there) and their 95 OVR RB, came to visit Tuscaloosa and gave them a bit of a run. The Tide offense was sharp and near perfect again, but the D (which has 7 new starters, including the entire LB core) had no answer for the Rockets. An upset looked to be in the making with Toledo up by 4 in the middle of the 4th quarter

Then things got worse………

QB Leon Frazier tore his pectoral while scrambling for a run (I’m learning first hand the problems with an option offense, your QB gets nailed all the time). And in came Dave Cox to prevent a Toledo upset.

The Talladega native was a lightly recruited 3 star ATH. He was only the 22nd ranked ATH from the class of 2018. As a kid he dreamed of breaking the color barrier in NASCAR, but he could not deal with the racist crowds so he threw away a promising career and quit at age 16. He took up football in his SR year of H.S. and played both DB and QB in high school and was all state at both positions. When he came to Alabama there were thoughts of turning him into a WR or FS, but he suprisingly came in as a 76 OVR QB. He redshirted his first year, but in 2019 he served not only as the back up QB, but played on special teams and was the 5th WR. Despite his role, he has a had difficult time picking up girls because he doesn’t start

Even though he was the best player in the Spring Game, Cox (85 OVR) expected to just be a placeholder and to contribute on special teams and 5 wide sets. Frazier was back for his SR year and Cox’s time would be in 2021. However Frazier tore his boob and Cox had the game in his hands.

In the final drive of the game, Cox did not throw the ball once, choosing instead to move up the field using his RBs and FBs. But in the lone passing attempt, Cox instead used his 4.48 speed (83spd) to scramble in for the 15 yard Game Winning TD. With Frazier not coming back until after the Iron Bowl, the Cox era unexpectedly begins. But honestly dude, this sucks.
