While the first four games of the 2018 schedule are against non-conference foes, the Cincinnati Bearcats will have to challenge teams in the American Athletic Conference at some point this year. That will begin with a test against the UConn Huskies. That’s good news, as it should give the Bearcats a relatively easy starting point in league play. Of course the same could be said for the Huskies since UC was pretty miserable last year as well.
The Huskies welcomed back Randy Edsall as head coach last season and he ... did the exact same thing Bob Diaco did in his final year at the helm, finishing 3-9 and far from bowl contention.
