Three keys, prediction: No. 2 Cincinnati to be highest-ranked team to ever play at Tulane

Arquon Bush is the forgotten cornerback on the No. 2-ranked (Associated Press/Coaches) University of Cincinnati football team.

Bush, who is talented enough to start on most teams, is often stuck in the shadows of fellow corners and headline-grabbers Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner and Coby Bryant.

Bryant, a graduate student, recorded his first career pick-six this season and has earned a spot on the American Athletic Conference Honor Roll twice in the first seven games. Gardner, an AP first-team All-American, has yet to surrender a touchdown in his three-year career with the Bearcats.

Bryant and Gardner are two of 12 semifinalists for this season's Jim Thorpe Award, which is presented annually to the nation's top defensive back.
