Cincinnati Bearcats Set to Open Season, Bengals and Browns Look to Bounce Back in Battle of Ohio

A college team from Ohio will be playing football on Saturday.

While Ohio State still has to wait until Oct. 23 or 24 to open its season, Cincinnati is set to begin its season this weekend, when the American Athletic Conference’s Bearcats will open their 2020 campaign at Nippert Stadium against Austin Peay.

The Bearcats will be the first major college football team in Ohio to play a game this fall; while the Buckeyes are now set to play in just over a month, the Mid-American Conference and its six Ohio teams still don't know when they'll be back on the field, as MAC commissioner Jon Steinbrecher says there are still no plans to play this fall.
