The No. 13 is lucky after all.
The University of Cincinnati football team put its foot on the gas at the start of the second half and never let up, defeating Houston 35-20 in the AAC championship game Saturday at Nippert Stadium.
Cincinnati claimed its second straight AAC crown and stood on its home field as the only remaining undefeated team in the FBS. The Bearcats became the first 13-0 team in program history.
The only question that remains is who will they play next?
"We just want to play football," said Cincinnati quarterback Desmond Ridder, who will end his career with a 27-0 record as a starter at home.
