The Cincinnati Bearcats football squad made its triumphant return to the land of the 10 win teams this afternoon. They defeated the East Carolina Pirates 56-6.
Playing before a vivacious home crowd at Nippert Stadium, Cincinnati earned its first 10 win season since 2012, the last year of the Butch Jones era.
Last season, Cincinnati got taken to the woodshed by ECU. The Pirates manhandled the Bearcats in a 48-20 loss down in Greenville. It was UC’s 8th loss in an 8 loss season.
This season, the Bearcats crushed East Carolina in every aspect of the game from the opening whistle onward.
