Final Huddle: UC Hammers Kennesaw State 63-10 in Home Opener
CINCINNATI — The Bearcats made it look easy in their 21st-straight home opening win over Kennesaw State 63-10.
They didn't tighten everything up, but the Bearcats left no doubt where they stand against a solid FCS opponent in the Owls. Ben Bryant and the rest of the UC passing attack put up a hyper-efficient outing.
They carried the baton from a hungry defense that forced two turnovers and returned both for touchdowns.
It goes down as UC's fourth performance of the Luke Fickell era scoring at least 56 points and is tied for the most points during that period. A different Bearcat scored each of the nine touchdowns on Saturday.
“I wish you had told me it was going to end like that," head coach Luke Fickell said postgame. "I would have slept a little better knowing that. The triple option is always challenging in different ways, and that is a different type of triple option team, and I am happy to say that we did a really, really good job across the board. Sometimes you don't realize when we talk about the triple option and our defense, the reality is it's the whole picture.
"The ability to do things together because of the limitations, as far as how many possessions, and different things that you get and our guys really took that to heart. Across the board, all in all, we played well. It is only game two, but that is the most together football that we have had."
Let's dive into the Final Huddle of UC's 28th-straight home victory.
