The expectation is Cincinnati football quarterback Desmond Ridder will be healthy and ready to play Saturday against Temple, Bearcats' coach Luke Fickell said Monday.
The redshirt sophomore had season-lows in both passing yards (78) and completions (9) and was sacked four times in Saturday's 20-17 win at USF. Ridder briefly went to the locker room during the first half due to a shoulder injury.
"He just wasn't feeling it," Fickell said. "He got dinged early the very first series of the game, but I would assume he'll be perfectly fine and ready to roll.
