What else could possibly go wrong this season? The University of Cincinnati football team and its fans found out Saturday night.
The Bearcats lost 31-28 in overtime to Southern Methodist University, before a stunned Homecoming crowd of 30,885 at Nippert Stadium.
SMU went ahead 31-28 on the first possession of overtime, on a 27-yard field goal by Josh Williams.
UC then got the ball. Facing 3rd-and-4 at the SMU 19-yard line, quarterback Hayden Moore was wrapped up and about to be sacked. Still upright, Moore tried a short, desperation underhand pass. The ball was intercepted by SMU linebacker Kyran Mitchell.
