Cincinnati Bearcats 3-0 in Big 12! Brendan Sorsby 2 TDs vs UCF Knights | College Football Highlights

Chatterbox Bearcats will be LIVE after Cincinnati vs UCF. On Saturday, October 11, 2025, the surging Cincinnati Bearcats (4-1, 2-0 Big 12) host the struggling UCF Knights (3-2, 0-2 Big 12) in a noon ET kickoff at Nippert Stadium, airing on FS1. This matchup pits two former American Athletic Conference foes against each other in their 11th all-time meeting—a series deadlocked at 5-5. With Cincinnati riding a four-game win streak and UCF desperate to snap an October skid, expect a gritty Big 12 affair where home-field energy and offensive firepower could decide the outcome. Cincinnati enters as a 10.5-point favorite, with an implied score of 32-22 per betting models. The Bearcats' recent form is electric: They stunned No. 14 Iowa State 38-30 last week, capping a run of four straight games with 34+ points. Quarterback Brendan Sorsby has been a revelation, completing 65.9% of passes for 1,257 yards, 12 touchdowns, and just one interception, while adding scrambles that keep defenses honest. His top target, Caleb Goodie, has hauled in 15 catches for 334 yards and two scores. On the ground, running back Tawee Walker powers a 28th-ranked rushing attack averaging 205.2 yards per game at 6.6 yards per carry—elite efficiency against UCF's middling 85th-ranked run defense (155 yards allowed). Cincinnati's defense, though leaky through the air (120th, 262.4 yards allowed), has forced turnovers and limited big plays, ranking 85th overall in yards conceded (378.2). They've covered the spread in four of five games, thriving as heavy favorites (1-1 ATS at 10.5+ points).UCF, meanwhile, is mired in frustration, dropping two straight conference games, including a 27-20 heartbreaker to Kansas. The Knights boast a balanced offense (45th in total yards, 425 per game), led by quarterback Tayven Jackson's 64.5% completion rate for 906 yards, three TDs, and one pick. Receiver Duane Thomas Jr. (21 receptions, 245 yards) stretches the field, but the real weapon is the run game: Myles Montgomery has piled up 378 yards and three scores, testing Cincinnati's solid front seven. Defensively, UCF ranks 77th against the rush (4.1 yards allowed) but has covered just twice in five outings. Their Achilles' heel? October woes—0-8 since joining the Big 12, including losses to non-ranked foes. As underdogs (0-2 this season), they'll lean on Scott Frost's veteran coaching—familiar from his 2016-17 UCF tenure that included back-to-back wins over Cincy—to grind out possessions. Head-to-head, these teams have traded haymakers. UCF's 38-13 rout in 2017 (with a sold-out Bounce House and ESPN GameDay) launched their championship run, while Cincinnati edged a 19-13 thriller last October. The 2019 "Rained Out in River City" game saw UCF's McKenzie Milton erupt for 374 yards before a deluge halted play, awarding the Knights a 31-23 win. Recent tilts are low-scoring (average total: under 50), but Cincinnati's current explosion (four overs in five) clashes with UCF's unders (two in five), pushing the 54.5 total toward the over. Key matchup: Sorsby vs. UCF's secondary. If Cincinnati's dual-threat QB exploits gaps, the Bearcats roll to 5-1. But UCF's ground attack could control the clock, keeping it close if Jackson avoids mistakes. Models give Cincinnati a 74-81% win probability, but Frost's history adds intrigue—don't sleep on a Knights upset in this evenly matched rivalry. Nippert's "Stripe the Stands" red-and-black sea should roar, but UCF's bounce-back grit makes this a must-watch Big 12 test.
