Bearcats Bounce Back After Heartbreaking Season Opener
11 Oct
Summary
- Cincinnati Bearcats 4-0 after loss in season opener
- Impressive wins over Kansas, Iowa State
- UCF Knights looking to upset Cincinnati at home
The Cincinnati Bearcats have shown remarkable resilience after a heartbreaking 20-17 loss to Nebraska in their season opener. Since then, the team has reeled off four consecutive wins, including a brilliant 37-34 victory over Kansas and a triumph over Iowa State that announced their arrival in the Big 12 race.
With upcoming games against Oklahoma State and Baylor, the Bearcats have a real shot at entering their matchup against Utah with a perfect 5-0 record. Meanwhile, the UCF Knights have suffered losses in their last two games against Kansas State and Kansas, but they'll be looking to get their season back on track with a home game against West Virginia next.
The Bearcats' passing defense has been a concern, allowing over 70% completion rates, but their offense has been unstoppable, averaging over 430 yards per game in their last four outings. The Knights will need to find a way to slow down the Bearcats' high-powered attack if they hope to pull off the upset at Nippert Stadium on October 11th.
