University of Cincinnati football head coach Luke Fickell said he can't forget what happened when the Bearcats faced UCF five seasons ago.
In 2017, Fickell's first season at the helm of the Cincinnati program, the Knights came into Nippert Stadium and put a 51-23 beatdown on the Bearcats in a game that was ultimately called with four seconds to play in the third quarter due to lightning and heavy rain.
"You can't forget those guys who were here, and what that looked like that night and how far we had to come," Fickell said.
UC fifth-year senior quarterback Desmond Ridder was just a freshman planted behind then-starter Hayden Moore, but Ridder said he also still vividly remembers the night of Oct.
