HUNTINGTON, W.Va. -- Desmond Ridder threw a season-high four touchdown passes and Cincinnati rolled to a 52-14 victory over Marshall on Saturday.
The Bearcats (3-1) were dominant throughout their final nonconference tuneup before the start of American Athletic Conference play.
Marshall (2-2) was limited to 256 yards of offense, with half of that coming in the fourth quarter.
Ridder had TD tosses of 13 yards to Rashad Medaris and 17 yards to Alec Pierce in the first quarter, and 13 yards to tight end Josiah Deguara in the second quarter.
Just before halftime, Ridder fumbled when he was hit by Marshall linebacker Tavante Beckett while attempting a pass.
