Cincinnati Football: Bearcats hope to bounce back in homecoming game against Iowa State
Cincinnati began the regular season with high hopes but a string of unexpected setbacks left the coaching staff searching for answers moving forward.
During the midweek press conference, Satterfield discussed the game plan against Iowa State and reacted to the recent skid per Cincinnati Athletics.
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.
