An unexpected problem has Cincinnati revamping its offensive line after only one game.
The Bearcats’ offense evaporated during a 28-14 loss at Fresno State on Saturday night. A unit that is full of playmakers failed to score in the second half. Zach Collaros got sacked eight times. Last year, Cincinnati allowed 15 sacks all season.
Cincinnati also lost receiver Vidal Hazelton, who tore a knee ligament and is out for the season. He was expected to replace Mardy Gilyard in the Bearcats’ spread offense.
First-year coach Butch Jones said he might revamp the offensive line for a game Saturday against Indiana State. He said positions are open to competition in practice this week.
