WEST HARRISON – The University of Cincinnati football team on Friday took the field at the Higher Ground Conference and Retreat Center for the first time of fall camp.
The Bearcats practiced under a cloudy sky and in the shadow of a large, white banner hanging above the field with the words "JUST BE US" printed on it.
The three words – accompanied by a a red and black C-Paw – are the theme of Cincinnati's fall camp.
"We just gotta be us," sixth-year Bearcats coach Luke Fickell said. "We don't know exactly what 'us' is just yet, but I think a lot of those things kind of come to fruition as we get to Higher Ground and start to develop a lot of those things.
