Luke Fickell used to coach for Ohio State. Now that he coaches for the Cincinnati Bearcats, he still can’t escape the Buckeyes’ rivals, as in his second game at the helm, and first against a D1 program, he will face the Michigan Wolverines. It will be a major test for Fickell and these Bearcats, as playing in the Big House in Ann Arbor on a Saturday afternoon is never an easy task, even if you have a nationally ranked team at your back.
UC isn’t a nationally ranked squad by any stretch of the imagination.
