According to a recent announcement from Cincinnati Athletics, the upcoming matchup against the Iowa State Cyclones will kick off at noon on October 14!
Cincinnati began the regular season with high hopes but a string of unexpected setbacks left the coaching staff looking for some answers moving forward.
Scott Satterfieldβs team is still searching for the first Big 12 victory in school history after starting 0-2 in conference play and a third consecutive loss.
The frustrating outing marks the first three-game losing streak for Cincinnati since Luke Fickell was in the midst of his first year as head coach in 2017.

Cincinnati Football: Kick off time announced ahead of Bearcats matchup against Iowa State
A week off serves as a chance for the Bearcats staff to analyze their performances and make necessary adjustments ahead of the homecoming matchup.
Cincinnati had several opportunities to stay within striking distance in the second half but self-inflicted lapses helped contribute to the recent loss at BYU.
The Bearcats will try to regroup in the coming days before eventually returning to action against Iowa State on Saturday, October 14 at Nippert Stadium.
With a renewed sense of motivation and purpose, Cincinnati will attempt to put an end to the losing streak and get back in the winning column soon!
