The TCU Horned Frogs (7-4, 4-4 Big 12) will close out the regular season at Amon G. Carter Stadium when the Cincinnati Bearcats (7-4, 5-3) roll into town on Saturday, Nov. 29. As announced by the Big 12 on Sunday, kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. CT and will be televised on FOX.

The Bearcats, most recently, lost to the No. 11 BYU Cougars 26-14. The Bearcats began the season with a loss to Nebraska before going on to win their next seven games to be ranked No. 16 in the nation. Cincinnati then suffered back-to-back losses to No. 24 Utah and an unranked Arizona Wildcats team.

The history between TCU and Cincinnati remains short, with just four games played between the two programs. Their matchup in late November will mark just the fifth all-time meeting, as the teams are tied with a 2-2 record against each other. In their first contest, the Bearcats edged the Frogs in a 36-29 overtime win in the 2002 season. TCU then dominated to a 43-10 victory in 2003 before Cincinnati took the game in 2004.

The most recent matchup came last year when the Frogs beat the Bearcats 20-13 in Ohio. It was the final game of the regular season as well, in which TCU edged out a win in a snowy Nippert Stadium. Josh Hoover threw for 213 yards as Savion Williams found the end zone with a pair of rushing touchdowns.

Cincinnati, though, is 2-1 on the road this season, with at Kansas and Oklahoma State. They have suffered a road loss to Utah and a neutral site loss to Nebraska at Geha Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, MO.
