Luke Fickell stood at the podium for his postgame news conference following his team's 45-24 win over Indiana last week at Nippert Stadium noticeably upset. The University of Cincinnati football coach watched as his Bearcats, who led 38-10 at halftime, went scoreless on eight straight drives against the Hoosiers in the second half.
Fickell's frustration grew as he thought about the task ahead.
"We'll be tested even more next week," he said.
Fickell and the Bearcats (3-1) will open their final American Athletic Conference schedule Saturday at Tulsa (7 p.m. on ESPNU).
