The Cincinnati Bearcats could use some help behind center right about now.
Injuries have cost the Bearcats (3-1) their starting and backup quarterbacks, so coach Brian Kelly must give redshirt freshmen Zach Collaros or Chazz Anderson their first college start on Friday night at Marshall (3-2).
‘‘I’m very confident in the guys that we’ve got that we can win with them,’’ Kelly said.
Anderson has yet to attempt a pass this season, so Collaros would be the odds-on choice. Kelly said he will make a game-time decision on his starter.
The game will feature two of the nation’s top kick returners and receivers. Cincinnati’s Marshwan Gilyard leads the nation at 36 yards per kickoff return, one yard more than Darius Marshall.
