Cincinnati Football: Bearcats should be able to keep it competitive against Kansas

Despite a disappointing inaugural Big 12 campaign, the Cincinnati Bearcats should keep it competitive against the Kansas Jayhawks on Saturday evening!

Prior to meeting in the regular season finale, the new Big 12 opponents have played two games in the past with each program winning at their home stadium.

Scott Satterfield’s team should stay within striking distance but it will be difficult to pull off the upset over a quality opponent in the regular season finale.

The Bearcats first game against Kansas resulted in a 23-18 loss in 1995 before recording a 34-7 victory over the Jayhawks at Nippert Stadium back in 1997.

Cincinnati Football: Malik Vann set to wrap up memorable career on Senior Day

Cincinnati native and Bearcats veteran defensive lineman Malik Vann is set to wrap up his career in the regular season finale on Senior Day tonight!

During the home opener against Kennesaw State in his junior year, Vann went down with an upper-body injury and was forced to miss the rest of the season.

Vann has helped the Bearcats go 56-19 throughout his six-year career, securing back to back AAC titles and a historic College Football Playoff berth in 2021.

The Cincinnati product committed to his hometown program more than six years ago and developed into a dynamic contributor on the Bearcats defensive line.
