West Virginia Starting Quarterback Garrett Greene on Pace to Miss Cincinnati Contest

 The Cincinnati Bearcats are likely facing West Virginia's backup quarterback, Nicco Marchiol, this weekend. WVU head coach Neal Brown confirmed on Monday that starter Garrett Greene is doubtful for the game.

Marchiol stepped in for him admirably against Arizona in a 31-26 win this past Saturday. He threw for 198 yards and two scores on 81.8% completion while adding another 39 yards on the ground.

Still, he's been rather mediocre across his 38 passes this season, amassing a 48.2 ESPN QBR.
