The Bearcats return to Nippert Stadium with the Victory Bell and an opportunity to put some distance between the memory of the disaster that was the last home game vs Pitt.
Former AAC foes, the Houston Cougars, come to town after a big victory against cross city rival Rice. The Bearcats are currently behind in the series against UH with a 14-15 record, but have won 4 in a row, including the 2021 AAC Championship game that propelled UC into the College Football Playoffs. Houston was the Bearcats sole Big XII victory in 2023 and will be an opportunity to get the important part of the season started off on the right foot.
As always, we’ll be doing our part to set the mood. We’ll be serving up cold Cincy Light and another great spread of breakfast eats. See you bright and early at The Grid!
