The Cincinnati Bearcats held their team banquet this afternoon and announced several well deserved postseason awards.
UC didn’t exactly live up to the fans’ expectations. I myself pegged them a 10-win team at a minimum. Never in my life have I ever been so disastrously wrong. The Bearcats instead finished with a 7-5 record, never beat an opponent with a better record, were routinely listless defensively, including a 65-27 blowout against South Florida, and wound up in a lower tier bowl game against San Diego State.
But that doesn’t take away from the several outstanding individual performances from Bearcats players this year, including Shaq Washington, who broke Mardy Gilyard’s career reception record and took home a MVP award.
