CINCINNATI (AP) -The sign in Cincinnati’s meeting room lists the three goals for the offense this week. Only one of the goals – the last one – is followed by an exclamation point.
“Protect The Passer!” it says.
The emphasis is earned.
No. 8 Oklahoma (3-0) could have an easy time on Saturday if it can keep Cincinnati quarterback Zach Collaros running around at Paul Brown Stadium. The Bearcats (1-2) have already given up 15 sacks – their total for all last season – and have gotten off to a stunningly bad start because they can’t protect the quarterback.
Can an offense that was one of the nation’s best last year get its act together against one of the nation’s best teams?
