WEST HARRISON, Indiana — The Cincinnati football team held the first practice of its annual two-plus week stay at the Higher Ground Conference & Retreat Center on Saturday.

It's clear through the first four days of training camp: The Bearcats have plenty of positions of power. Running back, safety, tight end and quarterback would be among that group.

But here's a few positions in questions that could shake out in August while UC is away from home in all-football mode:

Right tackle

The offensive line appears to be in solid shape with left tackle Chris Ferguson, left guard Jeremy Cooper, center Jakari Robinson and right guard Morgan James in line to start.
