Cincinnati Football: Myles Montgomery finding success despite the Bearcats losing streak
Bearcats running back Myles Montgomery posted a 63-yard touchdown run early before the Oklahoma State Cowboys eventually pulled away this week.
It was a frustrating showing as Cincinnati’s defense allowed Oklahoma State running back Ollie Gordon to compile 271 rushing yards and two touchdowns.
Montgomery finished with a team-high 90 rushing yards and one touchdown but it wasn’t enough to propel the Bearcats to the inaugural conference win.
Oklahoma State racked up an impressive 601 total yards including 315 rushing yards, while Cincinnati failed to move the ball consistently after halftime.
