Cincinnati Bearcats v. UCF Knights: Where To Watch, Game Notes, And More!

Before the season began, when the AAC’s 2015 schedule had finally been made public, we as Bearcats fans had circled today’s game as the toughest one on the schedule with conference title hopes on the line. I’m sure UCF fans did the same.

Now look at both of our teams. Cincinnati’s 4-3 with just a single win in the AAC and no hope at making the title game already having lost to front runners Temple and Memphis. Central Florida’s in worse shape, having lost all of their games include a 16-15 head scratcher to FCS Furman of all schools. Now head coach George O’Leary, the man who built the Knights into the Fiesta Bowl champions they were just two years ago, has stepped down and turned the program over to UC alumnus and former quarterback Danny Barrett.

My how far both of us have come, UCF fans, since the footballs finally started flying. Oh well, Happy Halloween, I suppose…
