Another week, another round of sacks for the Missouri defensive end tandem of Markus Golden and Shane Ray.
Ray pushed a punt having a third down sack in the very first half in a 38-10 win over Central Florida Saturday, and added a sack using a forced fumble in the fourth quarter, giving him five sacks in the season. Yet, he also picked up a roughing the passer penalty in the fourth quarter. Golden picked up a sack close to the conclusion of the next quarter despite playing a read-and-respond duty initially. UCF quarterback Justin Holman saw nothing but great coverage in the Missouri secondary, and attempted to break in the pocket when Golden chased him down to get a quick loss.
Missouri tallied six sacks in the day.
Both are undersized for NFL defensive ends, but Golden is considered the better prospect of the two at 260 pounds. Before this week, Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said NFL scouts have told him the two might be even better than last year’s Missouri pass-rushing tandem of Kony Ealy and Michael Sam, both of whom became NFL draft picks in May.
