An Auspicious Start: Cincinnati 28, UT-Martin 7

Yikes.

The Bearcats got off to a pretty bad start to the 2016 season. The Skyhawks from Tennessee-Martin marched down the field on their opening drive to take a 7-0 lead, and then proceeded to shut out the ‘Cats until the final seconds of the first half. UC trailed 7-6 at the break after a TD pass from Hayden Moore to Devin Gray, followed by a missed extra point from backup kicker Josh Pasley (starter Andrew Gantz missed the game with a pulled muscle). Pasley, the junior college transfer, was shaky in his D-I debut. He missed a 24-yarder on UC’s opening drive and missed the aforementioned extra point just before halftime.
