Six players from Cincinnati are on watch lists for major awards, but actually winning won't be easy.
Now that #WatchListSeason is in full swing, its time to start wondering: just how likely is it that a member of the Cincinnati Bearcats will bring home one of those trophies at the end of the season?
The answer, based on projections and historical evidence, is not likely. No Bearcat has ever won the Maxwell, Walter Camp, Davey O’Brien, Bednarik, Mackey, Rimington, Ray Guy, Jim Thorpe, Butkus, Rotary Lombardi, Biletnikoff, Wuerffel or Doak Walker Award. The only major award ever won by a Bearcat was the Lou Groza award, which went to placekicker Jonathan Ruffin in 2000 during his consensus All-American campaign.
