  • Series History: Bearcats trail 0-2
  • TV Broadcast: ESPN and fuboTV

It will be key for the Bearcats to avoid mistakes on both sides of the ball, correct the red zone concerns and limit BYU’s impressive downfield passing attack.

Scott Satterfield’s offense has to find a rhythm in the red zone early on but the defense must continue to play at a high level in the Big 12 road debut today!

The recent losing streak could serve as a significant learning experience for Cincinnati but it’s going to be tough to do so in such a difficult environment.

BYU opened as slight favorites when the odds were originally released before the spread flipped to the Bearcats being favored by less than a field goal.

Cincinnati should compete with the Cougars but it’s certainly going to be challenging to pull off a victory unless the recent offensive issues are improved.

Despite suffering consecutive losses, the Bearcats are determined to rebound and make a statement during the first Big 12 road game in school history.
