TAMPA, Fla. – It was yet another game that could have and should have been a blowout for the University of Cincinnati football team.
But it was also another game that ended in a victory for the Bearcats, and for them, that's what's most important.
Cincinnati held off South Florida 45-28 Friday night to remain unbeaten and continue to its historic march through an undefeated season.
"We're still climbing the mountain," UC coach Luke Fickell said. "Some people might think that we're somewhere up at the top of the mountain because what the public would say, but for us, we know we're still climbing, and when you're climbing the mountain, there's going to be struggles, there's going to be obstacles, and we had some tonight.
