Sophomore running back Michael Warren II set the University of Cincinnati single-season record for touchdowns as the Bearcats beat South Florida 35-23 in sub-freezing weather Saturday night at Nippert Stadium.
Warren set the mark with his 18th overall touchdown, a 1-yard run to give the Bearcats a 35-23 lead with 36 seconds left in the third quarter. It was Warren's fourth TD of the night (and third of the third quarter). Warren rushed for a season high 151 yards.
Warren broke the record shared by former UC running backs DeMarco McCleskey (2002) and David Small (1993), who also scored 17 times in a season.
