The University of Cincinnati is scheduled to host No. 6 Utah on Halloween. The Bearcats are coming off a 37-24 win against No. 8 Texas Tech, which was their highest-ranked home win since 2006.
Following the victory over Texas Tech, several Bearcats received national honors. MJ Cannon was named the Walter Camp National Defensive Player of the Week after a two-turnover performance. Additionally, Cole Tabb was named the Doak Walker National Running Back of the Week after rushing for a career-high 173 yards and scoring two touchdowns in the upset victory.
Other weekly honors included JC French IV being named to the Davey O'Brien Great 8 for Week 8, following four touchdown passes. The Bearcats also earned four weekly conference honors following their performance against the Red Raiders.
The Homecoming game against Texas Tech was a sellout for Cincinnati. Earlier in the season, street closures were announced for the 8 a.m. parade on parts of Calhoun St. and Clifton Ave.
