The first thing Fickell mentioned in the presser was Josiah Deguara running 60-plus yards to chase down the UCLA player after the Ridder INT. Described it as representative of what this team is all about, said it would be the first play of film they watch tomorrow. #Bearcats

How bout them #Bearcats ? Cincinnati & Scott Satterfield move to 2-0 with a 27-21 road win over Pitt. Most of the 2nd half wasn’t pretty, but an impressive start to the season few expected after the coaching change and offseason transition. Corey Kiner with 153 rush yds & 1 TD.

The 2019-20 Cincinnati #Bearcats earn a three-way share of the American Athletic Conference regular season title and the #1 seed in the AAC Tournament. They share the title with Tulsa and Houston. Pretty impressive for John Brannen’s first season based on how things started.
