Navy heads to Cincinnati to face vastly improved team
Cincinnati head coach Luke Fickell leads his team onto the field prior to game against Temple, Saturday, Oct. 20, 2018, in Philadelphia. Temple won 24-17. (Chris Szagola / AP)Cincinnati has authored one of the biggest turnarounds in all of college football. The Bearcats suffered their second straight 4-8 season in 2017, but have rebounded big-time under the direction of second-year head coach Luke Fickell.
Fickell has pushed all the right buttons so far and Cincinnati carries a 7-1 record into Saturday afternoon’s matchup with struggling Navy (2-6). The Bearcats are 3-1 in the American Athletic Conference and very much in the hunt for the East Division title.
