CINCINNATI (AP) -Eighth-ranked Cincinnati is quite adept at extreme makeovers.
Last season, tight end Connor Barwin moved from tight end to defensive end and led the Big East in sacks while the Bearcats won their first league title. This season has been more of the same.
The Bearcats (5-0) opened with four linebackers who came to Cincinnati as offensive stars. They’ve also got a defensive end who was a running back, and Marcus Barnett, who has started at cornerback and receiver in back-to-back games.
Coach Brian Kelly says it’s part of his philosophy of moving players to a spot where they can make an impact rather than letting them stagnate on the bench.
