by Brett McMurphyFiled under: CincinnatiCINCINNATI -- Cincinnati senior quarterback Tony Pike has been cleared to play against UConn tonight, but sophomore quarterback Zach Collaros will make his third consecutive start, Coach Brian Kelly said.
"Tony has been cleared to play, but we don't want to put him in a risky situation," Kelly said. "We'll really have to see how it plays out to decide when to put him in the game."
Collaros replaced Pike in the second half at South Florida on Oct. 15 and led the Bearcats to a 34-17 win against the Bulls.
In Collaros' two starts against Louisville and Syracuse, he has completed 82.2 percent (37 of 45) for 548 yards and seven touchdowns.
Pike had surgery on his left (non-throwing) arm two weeks ago to replace the plate that was in his arm. Pike initially broke his arm last season.
