Cincinnati Football: Can the Bearcats bounce back from frustrating loss against Miami?
Following a promising start to the regular season and increased expectations, Cincinnati was poised for a successful year before suffering the loss.
It will be important for the Bearcats to use the loss as a catalyst to improve because there is still plenty to play for in the inaugural Big 12 campaign.
Satterfield’s team struggled to score in the red zone and the Redhawks were able to take advantage of missed opportunities throughout the game.
The devastating loss marked Satterfield’s first defeat as head coach of Cincinnati and ended the Bearcats 18-year winning streak against Miami.
