| Bearcat players celebrate with the Keg Of Nails Trophy after beating Louisville |
The Cincinnati Bearcats were hosting the Louisville Cardinals at Paul Brown Stadium. The 'Cats were looking to improve to 5-1, while L'Ville was trying to get back to .500 at 3-3. At first it looked like the Cardinals were going to win the Keg Of Nails, but it was a tale of two halves. Cincy had a great 2nd half, and rallied back to beat the Cards, 25-16, here is how.
In the 1st quarter, the Cardinals kicker, Chris Philpott kicked two field goals, one from 42 yards out, and the other from 51 yards out. Louisville had a 6-0 leading going into the 2nd.
The Bearcats would take the lead when Zach Collaros connected with DJ Woods for a 26 yard touchdown, 7-6 the score.
The Cardinals would retake the lead when Philpott added another field goal, this time from 18 yards out, it was 9-7. Then, with just 6 seconds left before the half, Mike Evans picked off Collaros' pass, and took it to the house for a 63 yard pick 6. 16-7 would be the score heading into the locker rooms.
As I said, it was a tale of two halves. Good thing for Cincinnati.
In the 3rd quarter, the 'Cats shortened the lead when Collaros ran it in from 1 yard out, it was now 16-14. That would be the only score of the 3rd quarter. So only a 2 point game with a quarter left.
Early in the 4th, Isaiah Pead ran for a 50 yard touchdown, big play for Cincinnati! That made it 20-16. Then the kicker, Tony Miliano was not on the field for some reason. The Bearcats were forced to go for two. Well it worked out because Collaros connected with Robinson for the deuce, it was 22-16.
The nails were put into the keg when Miliano kicked a 21 yard field goal to put UC up by 9. 25-16 the final score.
Collaros looked pretty good, he threw for 152 yards, had 1 TD, and 1 INT.
Pead did very good, he had 20 carries, good for 150 yards and 1 TD.
UC is now 5-1 and will take on USF in Florida next week, that game will be on the Big East Network.
