Analysis: Desmond Ridder-Josh Whyle connection is heating up at right time
NEW ORLEANS – The objective is to do whatever it takes to win, and the University of Cincinnati football team did that on Saturday.
Despite allowing 187 rushing yards to a Tulane offense led by a third-string quarterback and true freshman, the No. 2-ranked (Associated Press/Coaches) Bearcats scored 17 unanswered points in the second half to pull away from the one-win Green Wave, 31-12.
"A win is a win," Cincinnati tight end Josh Whyle said. "Yeah, it was ugly. We could've done better. But like I said, a win is a win, and we're going to celebrate."
