The Liberty Bowl comes down to the health of one man, noted Blake Frazier of BetOnline.com. Will Zach Collaros be able to play quarterback for the Cincinnati Bearcats without significant discomfort?
“If Cincinnati quarterback Zach Collaros can play this game without any appreciably adverse health effects, the Bearcats will have a great chance to win.
Starting quarterback Zach Collaros – a player who was recruited by former UC coach Brian Kelly – was in the process of leading the Bearcats to the Big East championship this season. Cincinnati owned a 7-1 record and an unblemished conference mark heading into a Nov. 12 game against preseason favorite West Virginia. In that game against the Mountaineers, however, Collaros got knocked out for the season with an injury, and sure enough, the Bearcats weren’t able to overcome that awful event.”
The quarterback expects to play.
"I didn't feel I was going to be able to heal this fast," Collaros said. "There's still a long way to go ... so there's time for it to heal (more). I'm definitely ahead of schedule and excited about it."
While the Commodores are 6-1 Against The Spread in their last 7 games overall, they are also 4-12 ATS in their last 16 games following a SU win of more than 20 points and 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games after allowing less than 20 points in their previous game.
