The Cincinnati Bearcats will take on Tulsa in the first conference matchup of the season. Kick off is scheduled for Saturday night at 7:00 PM and will be available to watch and stream on ESPNU and FuboTV. Check out the commentators and TV coverage for the upcoming contest.

Both offenses have a lot of firepower so there’s a good chance it could turn into a shootout. Even if Tulsa quarterback Davis Brin is unable to play, it should be a relatively competitive game because of a dynamic receiver duo and home field advantage.

Cincinnati should be able to take care of business this week but it’s not going to be easy to come away unscathed since Tulsa has plenty of talent to pull off an upset. During a press conference, Fickell talked about facing the Green Wave in recent years.

"“We have a great challenge in front of us. Tulsa has given us the best games over the past 3-4 years so we know it’s going to be a hard fought battle in a night game on the road. I think the best thing about Tulsa is balance. I know they’re fourth in the country in passing and near the top in total offense and yardage. Where they have been so good, especially against us, is their balance.”"
