One of the more frustrating aspects of the 2016 season for the Cincinnati Bearcats was the fact that they couldn’t find more offensive success despite having a solid group of guys up front. With Deyshawn Bond, Idarius Ray, Korey Cunningham, Ryan Leahy and Ryan Stout, there was a nice grouping of offensive lineman which helped the Bearcats allow the second-fewest tackles for loss in the American Athletic Conference (62).
As the new offense, which promises to be faster under Mike Denbrock and Luke Fickell, is built, the offensive line will need to be adaptive and able to move at the pace the new regime wants.
