With AAC Title Hopes Shot, UC Aims For Still-Important Non-League Wins

In light of the fact that the Cincinnati Bearcats were picked as overwhelming favorites to win both the AAC’s East Division and the AAC title game, a 2-2 start is a huge disappointment. At the beginning of the season, many (including myself) thought this UC team had all the tools to make a run at that AAC title, perhaps a 12- or 13-win season, and a New Years’ Six bowl bid. In all of those facets, this season is already a huge disappointment – in fact, it’s a failure. After dropping two important, early-season league games in a front-loaded schedule, there will be no 7th home game at Nippert on December 5th.
