During the 63-10 win over Kennesaw State, plenty of players stepped up and put up noteworthy stat lines for Cincinnati. Both quarterbacks and three different runnings backs found the end zone as the Bearcats scored nine touchdowns in the victory.
Ben Bryant looked sharp in his second straight start under center, finishing with 201 yards and three touchdowns on 17/20 passing attempts. Before being replaced midway through the third quarter, Bryant continued to lead the offense effectively.
All three running backs played well in limited snaps as Charles McClelland led the team with 10 carries for 66 yards and one touchdown. The redshirt senior started after Ryan Montgomery was ruled out with a rib injury suffered against the Razorbacks.
Even though he lost a fumble in the first half, Myles Montgomery bounced back with a strong fourth quarter and finished with a game-high 104 rushing yards on five carries. The majority of that came on a 76-yard touchdown sprint right up the middle.
