Joseph Maiorana-USA TODAY Sports

CINCINNATI -- Gerrid Doaks ran for 102 yards and a touchdown, Tre Tucker returned a kickoff 97 yards for a score and No. 15 Cincinnati had five interceptions in a 28-7 victory over USF on Saturday.

Doaks had his first 100-yard rushing game since November 2019 when he ran for 123 against UConn.

Tucker returned the kickoff late in the third quarter to put Cincinnati ahead 28-7. It was the first kick return TD by a Bearcats player since Ralph David Abernathy IV in the Liberty Bowl against Vanderbilt in December 2011.
