If there were any concerns -- don’t know why there would be, but who knows -- over 2009 part-time sensation Zach Collaros taking over for Tony Pike as Cincinnati’s full-time starting quarterback, the new starter may have allayed some of those fears during the Bearcats’ spring game Sunday.
Picking up right where he left off during his stints replacing an injured Pike last season, Collaros completed his first 11 passes en route to an 18-of-20, 218-yard, two-touchdown performance in the fake game.
For Collaros, the spring game was all about growing more comfortable in his own starting skin as the Bearcats head toward summer workouts.
“We had a good rhythm going,” Collaros said. “I felt really comfortable out there today. I thought it was a great outing for our offense. I feel really good going into the summer. I’m just going to keep working my butt off to keep getting better.”
In other UC spring game news, Vidal Hazelton, the highly-touted transfer from USC, caught four passes for 88 yards in his “official” Bearcat unveiling.
