Motivation mounting for Cincy
For Cincinnati’s football team, at least part of its motivation for Saturday’s game against East Carolina in Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium is to make up for the embarrassment of what happened last week on national television.
The Bearcats trailed South Florida 51-3 going into halftime last Friday night in what was ultimately a 65-27 win for the surging Bulls. It led to a team meeting on Sunday in which veteran Cincinnati coach Tommy Tuberville stressed to his players how they can make up for the lopsided defeat to the Bulls, who have maybe been the American Athletic Conference’s surprise team thanks to six wins in its last seven games.
