Cincinnati Football: Bearcats attempt to earn first win over Kansas since 1997

After blowing out the Kansas Jayhawks back in 1997, the Cincinnati Bearcats are trying to take down the Big 12 foe for the first time in over two decades!

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

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 in 1997.

With an opportunity to wrap up the inaugural Big 12 campaign on a high note, Cincinnati is attempting to outlast Kansas at home on Saturday evening.
