This game was an absolute thriller, especially if you are fond of points and scoring. Cincinnati racked up a school-record 752 total yards of offense with 620 yards through the air. Freshman Hayden Moore, filling in for the injured Gunner Kiel, passed for a school-record 557 yards passing, four touchdowns and two interceptions, completing 31 of 53 passes. The three turnovers downed the Bearcats again, but it was, all in all, an impressive game for the Bearcats (well the offense anyway).
First Half
For a game hyped up to be an offensive showcase, the defenses sure came out strong.
