The only thing the man has done in a Red and Black jersey is throw 2 TDs against 3rd teamers, 1 pick (with two more straight between the numbers of defenders) for a TD, have a sub-50% completion percentage, and have one run where he was flipped upside by a defender into the endzone in mop-up duty.

If the kid was from anywhere but inside the 275 loop, there likely wouldn't be many, if any fans caring about him not starting...hell we saw the same kind of player in a pre-injury Munchie Leguax, who many, if not all, fans were calling for the axe in favor of Brendan Kay. Just my two cents.

Bryant will get the lion's share of any game-worthy opportunities until he gives the coaches a reason not to, and the game at Arkansas did not give any reason not to.

Cincinnati fans are bananas in general. I've learned to ignore nonsense whether it be collegiate or professional in this city.

Prater was a highly ranked recruit which contributes to this as well. Ben is probably going to be the guy all year and will put up huge numbers against AAC defenses.

Not all of us locals. I understand he gained his rating vs:
Indian Hill
Deer Park
Mariemont
Madeira
etc.

Had he played at Moeller, Elder, St. X, Colerain,etc. different story.
