The media notes from the University of Cincinnati's opponent from Athens this week explicitly instruct everyone to refer to them as Ohio University or Ohio. The Bobcats would prefer you not to use "Ohio U" or "OU". To UC coach Luke Fickell, none of that matters. Neither does Ohio's 1-1 record nor UC's 3-0 mark.

Fickell prefers to start the week with a clean slate despite the ramifications of starting at 4-0 heading into the American Athletic Conference eight-game menu.

"It starts over," Fickell said.
