The Cincinnati Bearcats lost six times last season. Their schedule this season features five of the teams that defeated them, giving them plenty of opportunities to exact revenge. Their first three attempts fell flat, as they were topped by Houston, USF and Temple in 2016 just as they were in 2015.
On Saturday, they will once again attempt to rectify a wrong that has stood for a year when they face off against the BYU Cougars. Of course, there is much more at stake than a shot at vengeance. Following a 34-13 loss to Temple last weekend, UC is once again on the precipice of destruction, with the offense looking ineffective and a postseason appearance slipping away.
