Cincinnati Football: Bearcats open as slight favorites over Iowa State prior to kick off
Cincinnati began the regular season with high hopes but a string of unexpected setbacks left the coaching staff searching for major answers going forward.
Following a much-needed bye week, the Bearcats are scheduled to return to the field against Big 12 opponent Iowa State on Saturday at home.
Scott Satterfield’s team is still searching for the first Big 12 victory in school history after starting 0-2 in conference play with a third straight loss.
The loss at BYU marked the first three-game losing streak for Cincinnati since former head coach Luke Fickell was in the midst of his first season in 2017.
