When you have a problem, you have to fix it. That’s a rule of life. If you just let something sit and hope for a solution, you’re going to be disappointed. Luke Fickell and the Cincinnati Bearcats have clearly identified one of their biggest problems and are dedicated to solving it. That problem is, of course, the pass rush. It has been a sore point in Clifton for several years.
Over the last three seasons, the Bearcats have accumulated a total of 44 sacks, ranking last, 10th and tied for 10th, respectively, in the American Athletic Conference.
