A decision on whether or not Tony Pike will play against UConn Saturday night has yet to be made. Brian Kelly said in his weekly press conference today that Pike is having a Breg splint sent in that should make it to Cincinnati by tonight. BK did say that he liked what he saw from Pike but only wants him to play if he feels he's ready. He said in this offense, you're going to take a hit and he has to be ready to take a hit. After being fitted for the brace, Pike will be a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Kelly said the way he practices for UConn will determine whether or not he plays. He would prefer Pike be 100 percent and play the entire game and not split snaps during the game.
Tight end Ben Guidugli did suffer a concussion in the 28-7 win against Syracuse as well so says Brian Kelly today. Apparently Guidugli was so mad that he couldn't go back in that the training staff had to hide his helmet from him on the sideline six different times.
More to come later on the football team and basketball team. I'm heading down to football practice now to talk with Mardy Gilyard who will make more money next year than I will ever have.
