Cincinnati football coach Luke Fickell talks Bearcats' 14th-straight win against Miami (Ohio). Fletcher Page, fpage@enquirer..com
Cincinnati football is keeping the Victory Bell another year.
For Luke Fickell and the Bearcats, that was the most important takeaway (or possession retained) from Saturday's 35-13 win against rival Miami University.
Is this still a rivalry? No UC fan would consider that question valid if the Bearcats had lost in Nippert Stadium. This matchup has been competitive recently yet the outcome remains the same.
It may not feel that important, especially after a 14th consecutive win in the series.
