Collaros might keep starting job for Cincy (AP)

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 11:45:43 PST

By keeping his team perfect, Zach Collaros has forced his coach to reconsider. When senior quarterback Tony Pike hurt his non-passing arm, Cincinnati coach Brian Kelly said he'd get this job back when he was ready. In the meantime, his sophomore backup got to run one of the nation's most potent offenses.

A young quarterback came of age, kept his team unbeaten and possibly won a starting job, too. Sophomore Zach Collaros threw for 480 yards -- the second-best passing performance in Cincinnati's history -- and showed beyond-his-years composure on the clinching drive of a wild 47-45 victory over Connecticut on Saturday that let the Bearcats match the best start in their history.

The storyline for Saturday night's nationally-televised Big East clash between Cincinnati and UConn at Nippert Stadium is one of triumph and tragedy.

Triumph for the Bearcats, who've begun the season 8-0 for the first time since 1954 and have catapulted to No. 4 in the Associated Press poll and fifth in the latest BCS rankings, both the program's highest-ever rankings.

Tragedy for the UConn Huskies (4-4, 1-3), who've had to overcome the stabbing death of defensive back Jasper Howard and subsequently a pair of heart-wrenching four-point losses to West Virginia and Rutgers. UConn also lost starting quarterback Cody Endres to a season-ending shoulder injury.
