As the anticipation for the regular season opener against Eastern Kentucky builds, Cincinnati is embracing an opportunity to improve.
Moving to a new conference with a first-year head coach could be difficult and will require patience as the team adjusts to Big 12 play.
The camp marks a pivotal phase in the preseason process, where players undergo conditioning and familiarize themselves with the playbook.
With a determined roster in place, the Bearcats have potential to find success in the Big 12 and secure bowl eligibility for a sixth straight year.
