Cincinnati Football: Expectations for the Bearcats regular season opener against Eastern Kentucky

Check out our expectations for the Bearcats regular season opener against Eastern Kentucky on Saturday, September 2 at Nippert Stadium!

Eastern Kentucky is coming off a 7-5 campaign that continued to show progress as the offense posted 36.2 points and 452.5 yards per game.

Led by star quarterback Parker McKinney and running back Braedon Sloan, the Colonels dynamic offense could create problems for Cincinnati.

McKinney set school records with 3,956 passing yards and 33 touchdowns last season en route to receiving Atlantic Sun Co-Offensive Player of the Year.

Spring football is underway and Nippert will be packed before you know it.
