On a day the college football world got a televised picture postcard from Cincinnati, the Bearcats got out to a 14-0 start against Tulsa, sputtered in the second quarter, pulled away, then sputtered again.
It would come down to a pair of late possessions by Tulsa, both stopped. After fumbling away what looked like their final possession, the Bearcats defense stopped the Golden Hurricane four straight times. Steven Anderson's last rush was fumbled in the endzone and recovered by senior Jabari Taylor to secure UC's 28-20 Homecoming triumph over Tulsa.
Desmond Ridder and the Bearcats are now 9-0.
