CINCINNATI (AP) -- Cincinnati quarterback Ben Mauk has provided the NCAA with more information about his surgically rebuilt passing shoulder, hoping to get another season of eligibility to play for the Bearcats.
Mauk overcame a career-threatening injury while leading the Bearcats to a No. 17 final ranking, the best finish in school history. With Mauk running a spread offense, the Bearcats finished 10-3, including a 31-21 victory over Southern Mississippi in the PapaJohns.com Bowl.
"I want to come back," Mauk said Tuesday in a phone interview. "I'm excited about what we can do next year. I think the numbers we put up this year can be a lot higher next year."
