Cincinnati Football: Bryon Threats ejected in the early stages of game against UCF
By Charles Post
Cincinnati Bearcats defensive back Bryon Threats was ejected for making contact with an official in the first quarter against the UCF Knights today.
During his junior year with the Bearcats, Threats has become an key part of the secondary but will have to wait until next weekend to take the field again.
Scott Satterfield’s team will lean on several others to fill in for Threats including senior safety Taj Ward and redshirt freshman safety Antwan Peek Jr.
Threats came into the day with 43 total tackles, five pass break ups and two interceptions, highlighted by an interception in the Bearcats season-opening win.

It appeared the Bearcats were going to force a punt but back to back penalties allowed UCF to keep the possession alive and eventually find the end zone.
UCF quarterback John Rhys Plumlee scored an 8-yard touchdown run and Threats was penalized for making contact with an official following the play.
