MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – Josh Cox called it, because he’s seen it before.
Cox, a senior defensive back on the Central Michigan football team, told quarterback Shane Morris before Saturday’s 45-27 win at Kansas that Morris would throw five touchdown passes.
Morris did indeed toss five TD passes, finishing the game with 467 yards on 28-of-37 passing in just his second start as a Chippewa. Morris earned the Mid-American Conference West Division Offensive Player of the Week Award.
“I don’t know why I told him he was going to throw five, I just knew that once he had confidence they won’t be able to stop him,” Cox said.
