Everyone in the stadium was wearing black.  The game was on National and 3D TV.  Blackout game and national TV sure got the Bearcats, and their fans, pumped for the game against NC State.


Now they one thing that would make it better is if UC won.  Last year the Wolfpack had their way with the 'Cats, but not this year.


Cincy's defense looked great, as did their offense.  They ended up beat North Carolina State, 44-14.  Here is how.


With just over 8 and a half minutes to go in the 1st, Isaiah Pead but UC on the board with a 2 yard score.  4 minutes later Zach Collaros can it in from 13 yards out, the score was 14-0 at the end of a quarter.


Collaros would get the next score as well.  And once again, it was on the ground.  This time it was a 10 yard run, Cincy up 21-0.


The Wolfpack got the ball with about 5 minutes to go before the half.  UC had them in deep in their own territory, and it looked as if they could stop them as it was a 3rd down.  But instead, Mike Glennon connected with T.J. Graham, he broke a tackle or two, then next thing you knew he was at the 40, the 50, the 20, the 10, the endzone. It was an 87 yard score, it was 21-7.


Cincinnati wanted to answer back before the half.  They did so with a Tony Miliano field goal, a 26 yarder, that made it 24-7 going into the locker rooms.

The Bearcats scored first in the 2nd half when Miliano kicked a 48 yard field goal, that made it 27-7.  On their next drive, Zach Collaros connected with Isaiah Pead, Pead took it to the house for a 25 yard score, 34-7.


NC State would had another long scoring play, when Glennon and Graham connected again, this one going for 49 yards, the score was now 34-14.


UC would answer back with a touchdown pass from Collaros to Thompkins, a 4 yard score, it was 41-14 at the end of 3.  


Tony Miliano would kick a 22 yard field goal in the 4th, making it 44-14, and that's how she finished.


Zach Collaros had a good day, he went 25/34, good for 263 yards, 2 TD's, and 1 pick.


Pead rushed for 167 yards.


The defense is what looked the best though.  Although Glennon passed for 334 yards, they looked pretty good.  Especially against the rush.  NC State's leading rusher was Underwood, who only had 6 yards.  The defense had 6 sacks and 3 turnovers.


UC is now 3-1 this year.
