How to watch Miami vs. Cincinnati

The Cincinnati Bearcats will host the Miami (FL) Hurricanes at Nippert Stadium on Thursday night. 

The Hurricanes are looking to continue their win streak after defeating Bethune-Cookman, FAU and Nebraska to open the season. Miami escaped a loss against Nebraska after beating the Cornhuskers 36–33 in overtime on Sept. 19. Hurricanes cornerback Corn Elder intercepted a Nebraska pass in the first play of overtime to set up the winning field gaol. 

The Bearcats will seek to improve their record to 3–2 after wins over Alabama A&M and Miami (OH) and losses against Temple and Memphis. With two minutes left to play against Memphis on Thursday, the game was tied 46–46. A late Tiger touchdown dropped Cincinnati's record to 2–2.
