The Bearcats will host the currently 3-0 and preseason AAC East favorite South Florida Bulls at night on October 1st inside Nippert Stadium. The game has been announced as a 7:00 kickoff by the American Conference, which will certainly produce an amazing atmosphere, as it did in UC’s loss to Houston last week.
TV info will be announced later, once the conference and ESPN decide whether to run the game on ESPN2 or ESPNU. Really, UC got very lucky that the conference’s two flex picks for October 1st both fell into the 7:00 slot. Cincinnati got the benefit of setting a night game kickoff, and now ESPN can decide whether UC-USF or Memphis-Ole Miss is more worth of top bulling on TV.
