Style points have been hard to come by for the Cincinnati Bearcats during three consecutive halves of road games against Navy and Tulane.
After UC led Navy just 13-10 at the half last week en route to a 27-20 win, the Bearcats went into halftime against the Green Wave with a 14-12 lead.
Tulane outscored the Bearcats 12-7 in the second quarter.
