Bearcats 10-0 for first time in school history.

By: Cooper Ledford

The Cincinnati Bearcats now have their best start to a season in school history.  UC is now 10-0 after beating West Virgina last night.  Here is how.

After a good start for Zach Collaros, the Bearcats were in the red zone and in came Tony Pike to play under center.  Pike connected with Armon Binns for a 10 yard touchdown and UC had a 7-0 lead.  The Mountaineers would answer back after a fumble recovery and a Jarrett Brown 8 yard touchdown run and the game was tied at 7.  WVU would take the lead in the 2nd quarter when Ryan Clarke had a nice 37 yard touchdown run and it was 14-7 WVU.  Cincinnati would tie it up when Pead ran it in 2 yards for a touchdown, but fumbled it at the goal line, the play would be reviewd, it was reversed, 6 for UC.  Later on in the 3rd, UC would bring in Tony Pike once again in the redzone.  Pike threw a 6-pointer to D.J. Woods and Cincy was on top 21-14 into the 4th.  There was no scoring early in the 4th until Cincy got a field goal with 2:08 to go and they were on top 24-14.  West Virginia was trying to come back and win, they needed 10 points, so they got the 7 when Brown connected to Bradley Starks and it was a touchdown, it was now a 3 point game, 24-21.  The Mountaineers had to try for the onside kick, but UC recovered to seal their win.  UC will take on Illinois next week.
