The Cincinnati Bearcats football team will play their first Friday night game of the season when they host the East Carolina Pirates on Friday.
UC (7-2 overall and 4-1 American Athletic Conference) defeated Navy last week to bounce back from a loss at UCF on Oct. 29. Following the East Carolina game, the Bearcats will finish out their season on the road at Temple on Nov. 19 before hosting Tulane in the regular season finale in another Friday night game on Nov. 25.
The Pirates (6-3, 3-2) are winners of three straight games and four of their past five.
