Ben Bryant won't play again this season because of a foot injury, according to a source.
Evan Prater will make his first career start in place of Bryant for the 24th-ranked Cincinnati. One of the most decorated recruits in the program's history was Prater.
A high-stakes situation is about to take place. The winner of the Cincinnati and Green Wave game will host the conference title game next week. They've hosted the title game three times. A loss by the Bearcats coupled with a win by the Knights knocked them out of the title game.
Bryant left last week's game against Temple in the first half and was seen on the sideline with a boot on his foot. He had started every game for Cincinnati this season after transferring from Eastern Michigan.
The offense for Cincinnati will change a lot with the addition of Prater. A former Ohio Mr. Football, Prater is a true dual threat.
This season, Prater has made a difference. He led a come-from-behind win over South Florida in October and played a large portion of the game against Temple after Bryant's injury.
Prater has run for 114 yards and a touchdown in the past. He has 222 rushing yards and 276 passing yards in 15 games over the last three seasons.
