The streak is over. The University of Cincinnati football team's streak of 19 straight victories against American Athletic Conference opponents ended last week at Central Florida.
Though it was mostly a forgettable day for the Bearcats, there was a bright spot in the loss.
With the clock wound down on the third quarter and UCF owning a 12-6 lead, Cincinnati senior tight end and team captain Josh Whyle motioned from the right side of the offensive formation to the left. Split out wide, Whyle drew man-to-man coverage from the Knights' leading tackler, senior linebacker Jason Johnson. It was the matchup Whyle and the offense wanted.
