University of Cincinnati quarterback Desmond Ridder has one more show on the Nippert Stadium stage.
The highly decorated fifth-year senior looks to lead the No. 4-ranked Bearcats (12-0, 8-0 AAC) to their second straight American Athletic Conference championship Saturday inside the stadium he has called home since 2017.
The team standing in Ridder's way? No. 21 Houston (11-1, 8-0).

Though it will be Ridder's final opportunity for a winning curtain call in front of the home crowd, the Manning Award finalist isn't going about it any differently.
