BYU football: Cougars brace for Cincy's explosive offense

Independent BYU will return the visit in November of 2016 at historic Nippert Stadium.

Mostly unknown to BYU fans? Yes. Incapable of knocking off the inconsistent Cougars? No.

Cincinnati is a team with one of the best offenses in the country, and will bring a couple of capable gunslingers to the expected shootout, opening-game starter Gunner Kiel and redshirt freshman Hayden Moore, who stepped in when Kiel suffered a neck injury against Memphis and threw for 279 yards and two touchdowns in a 34-23 win over Miami two weeks ago.

Kiel was cleared to return last Sunday, but Cincinnati coach Tommy Tuberville has said he will not name a starter before the kickoff.
