Cincinnati will be down a rather significant piece of its offense as it kicks off a new season.
According to ESPN‘s College GameDay show, Gerrid Doaks will be on the sidelines when Cincinnati takes the field for tonight’s opener against UCLA. The running back has been hampered throughout summer camp with an unspecified injury.
As of yet, there’s been no official word from the football program on Doaks’ status for the game.
As a redshirt freshman last season, Doaks’ 513 yards on the ground led the Bearcats while his two rushing touchdowns were third on the team. Doaks also added 135 yards and another touchdown on 14 receptions coming out of the backfield.
With Doaks sidelined and Mike Boone (463 yards in 2017) off to the NFL, Michael Warren and his 324 yards last season will be the most of any returning rusher on the field Saturday night for the Bearcats.
