UTEP's Cowing has his breakout Bret Bloomquist, El Paso Times
From the moment Jacob Cowing arrived at UTEP this summer, there was an air of inevitability to his breakout.
He represented the hope of this Dana Dimel era, a case of UTEP recruiting above its weight and landing a player who, for a time, was coveted by major programs.
Even the best freshmen usually take a redshirt before a breakout (Kris Adams, Jordan Leslie, Jeff Moturi), but Cowing always figured to be different. And in the first eight games when he caught nine passes for 195 yards with two touchdowns, he was.
