Cincinnati Bearcats Star Guard Suffered Injury on First Drive

Devastating Blow to Team's Chances of Success

The Cincinnati Bearcats' hopes of a successful season have been dealt a major blow with the news that star guard Luke Kandra suffered an injury on the first drive of Friday night's game against Colorado.

Kandra, a First Team All-American Athletic Conference selection last season, went down with a non-contact injury to his left knee. The severity of the injury is still being evaluated, but early reports indicate that it could be season-ending.

A Crushing Loss for the Bearcats

Kandra's injury is a devastating blow to the Bearcats, who were counting on him to lead their high-powered offense this season. The senior quarterback was one of the most prolific passers in the country last year, throwing for over 3,000 yards and 30 touchdowns.

Without Kandra, the Bearcats will be forced to turn to backup quarterback Evan Prater, who has limited starting experience. Prater is a talented player, but he will have big shoes to fill in Kandra's absence.

A Disappointing Start to the Season

Kandra's injury is just the latest in a series of setbacks for the Bearcats this season. The team lost its season opener to Arkansas and then struggled to a narrow victory over Kennesaw State last week.

The injury to Kandra makes the Bearcats' task of turning their season around even more difficult. The team will need to find a way to replace Kandra's production and find a way to win games without their star quarterback.

Conclusion

The injury to Luke Kandra is a major setback for the Cincinnati Bearcats. The team will need to find a way to replace his production and find a way to win games without their star quarterback if they want to have any chance of success this season.
