Play action passes will be a part of the game plan against UCF this weekend, which means Metayer should have a chance to make a major impact.

Cincinnati Football: Chamon Metayer continues to show potential in recent performances

Cincinnati back up quarterback Brady Lichtenberg could earn more snaps in the coming weeks and it would be important to find Metayer early and often!

Metayer did not record a statistic during a loss at the Oklahoma State Cowboys last week but was coming off a 50-yard performance against the Baylor Bears.

The Bearcats are taking on rival UCF for the first time since the teams joined the Big 12 and both schools remain winless heading into the matchup.

UCF has struggled on defense with more than 31.0 points allowed in conference games, while giving up 225.1 rush yards per game throughout the season.
