Darrick Forrest wasn’t even supposed to be there.
If the University of Cincinnati senior safety hadn't made an adjustment before the fourth play of the fourth quarter on Saturday, Forrest wouldn’t have been in position to make a game-saving interception that salvaged the Bearcats’ College Football Playoff aspirations.
If Forrest wasn’t there, the ball wouldn’t have ricocheted into his hands. UC wouldn’t have gotten the ball in scoring position with the chance to take its first lead of the game. And the No. 7 Bearcats likely would not have beaten UCF 36-33 on Saturday night in Orlando.
