An entirely too predictable development.

Tight end Ben Guidugli will miss a game Saturday against No. 8 Oklahoma because of a sprained ankle, another major setback for Cincinnati's struggling offense.

In slightly less depressing news Isiah Pead will most likely draw the start against the Sooners. Pead is probably the most explosive athlete on the roster at this point, so getting him back in the fold has to be considered a good thing.
