Live updates: UC Bearcats lead with Tulsa 17-10 at halftime in the AAC Championship Game

For the first time in the 105-year history of Nippert Stadium, the University of Cincinnati football team is playing for a conference championship game win at home.

The No. 9 Bearcats face No. 23 Tulsa in the American Athletic Conference title game on Saturday, and UC is looking for its first AAC championship game win.

Last season, the Bearcats lost the title game at Memphis, but UC has home-field advantage in 2020.

UC has won its six conference games this season by an average of 21 points.

Tulsa kicker Zack Long missed a 36-yard attempt in the last minute of the half, and the Bearcats took a 7-point lead into halftime.
