The bright future of the Mountaineer backfield

The 2015 Camellia Bowlchamps reported to spring practice on Feb. 7 and the Mountaineers have eight more of the 15 practices allowed by the NCAA to get prepared for the fall.

Much of the success during App State’s bowl win season relied heavily on the intriguing run game led by then-junior running back Marcus Cox, who rushed for 1,423 yards (third in the Sun Belt) and nine touchdowns in 12 games.

Cox, who currently has 4,088 career rushing yards heading into his senior year, is on pace to break the Mountaineers’ all time rushing yard record of 4,804 yards held by Kevin Richardson.
