Final Huddle: UC Swallows Navy 20-10 at Nippert Stadium
CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Bearcats (7-2, 4-1) got the passing game back on track in a 20-10 win over the Navy Midshipmen (3-6, 3-4).
Ben Bryant had to fight through some drops from his receivers but the aerial attack returned to Nippert Stadium in the teams 31st-straight win at home. Navy got down early and couldn't create enough explosive runs to keep up using their unique attack.
In the final triple-option test for the foreseeable future, Cincinnati passed it with flying colors. The win keeps them right in the thick of the AAC title race alongside UCF and Tulane.
“I'm proud of our guys because they’ve had their backs against the wall over this past week, taking a gut punch,” Fickell said postgame. “What we went through last week, which I think everybody goes through, we, fortunately, didn’t go through it as much, and you find out a lot more about who you are, what your seniors are like, and what your leadership's like, you have weeks like that. We'll find out what it's like again because we've got another one gunning for us, and it will be a quick turnaround.”
Here's the Final Huddle from Nippert.
