Game Preview: Cincinnati Bearcats vs. Austin Peay Governors
Isaiah Pead. Zach Collaros. Anthony McClung. Kenbrell Thompkins. Nick Temple. Derek Wolfe. These were some of the players who wore the red and black last time the Cincinnati Bearcats opened a season against Austin Peay. The year was 2011 and the Bearcats were in the second year of the Butch Jones era. They would blast the Governors, 72-10 then post a 10-3 record en route to Big East Conference co-championship.
A lot has changed since then, but not everything. When UC and AP clashed in 2011, the Bearcats were coming off a disappointing 4-8 season, just as they are this fall.
