The Cougars fought off the conference rival University of Cincinnati Bearcats in a down-to-the-wire finish to stay undefeated at 9-0, but leaving plenty of question marks. Let’s take a look at the good, the bad and the ugly from the Cougars’ homecoming victory.
The good: winning in adversity
Despite coming into the game with a 5-4 record, the Bearcats still boast one of the best offenses in the country, particularly the passing game.
Led by senior quarterback Gunner Kiel, projected to be an NFL talent, the Tigers are fifth in the NCAA in passing offense with an average of 387 yards per game and 25 touchdowns on the year.
