Cincinnati Football: Reflecting on the Bearcats history against conference rival UCF

Cincinnati should be able to keep it competitive this week but it’s certainly not going to be easy for the defense to limit UCF’s up-tempo offensive attack.

Following an impressive start to the regular season, the Bearcats are still searching for the first Big 12 win after suffering a sixth straight loss last week.

Since becoming conference rivals during their time in the AAC throughout the last decade, the teams have split eight previous meetings with a 4-4 record.

The most recent meeting took place last October as the Knights survived with a 25-21 victory in Orlando to move past the Bearcats in the AAC title race.
