Offense usually was not a problem under former University of Cincinnati football coach Tommy Tuberville, who oversaw some of the Bearcats’ greatest offensive seasons from 2013-15.
Then came an awful 2016, when UC went 4-8 and often could not score to save its life. Problems included a revolving door at quarterback, an anemic running game and a passing game that averaged more than 100 yards fewer per game than in 2015. UC finished with a five-game losing streak, followed by Tuberville’s resignation.
Tuberville’s replacement, Luke Fickell, has hired an entirely new staff of on-field coaches.
