MEMPHIS – Cincinnati football returns in a week in a rematch with Memphis for the AAC championship, the first time in Bearcats' school history they'll face the same opponent two weeks in a row.

Coach Luke Fickell hasn't encountered a team twice on the schedule in his three seasons, much less two games against one team separated by just eight days. There's challenges involved, many that Fickell says he doesn't know about yet.
