Latest Preview (Week Recent)

Late-Season Collapse Continues

Cincinnati lost its fourth straight game, finishing the regular season on a four-game losing streak after being ranked 17th and in contention for the Big 12 title and a College Football Playoff spot.

Defensive Struggles Against TCU

The Bearcats allowed 45 points and 306 passing yards with four touchdowns from TCU quarterback Josh Hoover, who had a Big 12-worst 13 interceptions entering the game but threw none against Cincinnati.

Offensive Bright Spots from Sorsby

Quarterback Brendan Sorsby threw three touchdown passes and completed 23 of 33 passes for 282 yards without an interception, including a 35-yard TD to Cyrus Allen, but it wasn't enough to overcome the deficit.

November Woes Continue

Cincinnati is now 1-11 in November games under head coach Scott Satterfield, highlighting a recurring late-season struggle that also cost them a bowl bid last year.

Bowl Game Outlook Uncertain

The Bearcats will wait for their bowl assignment, but their four-game losing streak and poor November record raise concerns about their ability to finish the season strong.
