TAMPA, Fla. -- Cincinnati will have to find a way to keep its high-octane offense going without Tony Pike for at least one more game.
The No. 8 Bearcats lost their starting quarterback to a sprained left wrist during Thursday night's 34-17 victory over No. 21 South Florida, and the severity of the injury will be determined by a specialist.
Coach Brian Kelly said Pike, who broke his left forearm last season and played with a plate and six screws that are still in place, will miss Cincinnati's next game, at home Oct. 24 against Louisville.
"The plate that's in there has shifted," Kelly said, adding that it has not been determined if the injury will require surgery. He expects to know more after Pike undergoes an examination on Friday.
That plate shifting is not a good sign imo.
