Here’s a bit of trivia for you. Can you name the last year in which the Cincinnati Bearcats and the Ohio Bobcats played football against each other? If you guessed 1981, you are clearly a UC history savant. Even though these two teams are less than a three-hour drive away from each other, there have been 37 years since they last faced off, but that all changes on Saturday at noon when the Bobcats visit the Bearcats at Nippert Statium.
This is an important game for the Bearcats. Even though they are already 3-0 overall and well on their way to a bowl bid, they are just about to reach the most critical part of the year: the American Athletic Conference schedule.
