CFB: Fox's start mark could be in jeopardy for Miami


Associated Press

CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Left tackle Jason Fox is sick and listed as doubtful for No. 19 Miami's game Saturday at South Florida, meaning he's unlikely for what would have been a history-making start for the Hurricanes.

Fox has started 47 games in his Miami career, missing only two so far. His 48th start would tie Ed Reed for the second-most in school history, only two behind William Joseph's mark of 50 set from 1999 through 2002.

Fox sat out a 2006 game against Boston College with an elbow injury, and didn't play against Virginia Tech last season because of a sprained ankle. If he cannot play in Saturday's regular-season finale, Miami would likely shift left guard Orlando Franklin to start at tackle.
