In Cincinnati’s final football game as a member of the American Athletic Conference, they didn’t have enough offense to hang with traditional rival Louisville. The Bearcats lost the latest chapter of the “Keg of Nails” rivalry by a score of 24-7 with interim head coach Kerry Coombs at the helm.
Louisville jumped out to a 21-7 lead at the half. That was fueled by two touchdowns and 99 yards on five carries by running back Jawhar Jordan. Quarterback Brock Domann, playing in place of NFL prospect Malik Cunningham, also threw a touchdown to tight end Marshon Ford in the first half.
