Midway through spring football, UC seeing positive growth

Fickell discusses UC's 2018 signing class/ Tom Groeschen

The last time the University of Cincinnati football team was on a field competitively, the Bearcats bench emptied hurriedly, celebrating a dramatic win against the University of Connecticut.

The Bearcats finished the season 4-8.

In the days leading up to the 2017 finale, first-year head coach Luke Fickell said he wasn't used to playing games with little significance to close a season. Usually, his seasons ended with a championship game, a bowl appearance or even a rivalry. Last year's win simply offered UC hope entering the offseason.
