The rivalry between the two Cincinnati football teams continues this week against Miami (OH) in what will likely be the last trip to Yager Stadium in this historic game.
The battle for the winning bell is tied at 60-60-7 all-time. Cincinnati won 16 straight before losing to the RedHawks 31-24 in overtime at Nippert Stadium last season. Getting back above .500 is essential to keep the fan base engaged after a familiar collapse against Pittsburgh. “We have a lot of ball, we have a big game this week, obviously, against Miami, and that’s what we’re all focused on,” UC coach Scott Satterfield said this week. “It was a very difficult loss. Obviously we lost by a point on the last second field goal, it’s bad… We feel like we have a good football team. We have a united football team. We have guys who have a lot of fighting spirit. And this has been evident in the last two days here. So we’re going to keep fighting, we’re going to keep getting out there and putting out a great product. »
