After the unfortunate afternoon ending on Nov. 15 against Arizona, the Cincinnati Bearcats will have an opportunity to right their ship under the lights against BYU on Saturday, Nov. 22.
That's right, UC will finally have a "Nipp at night" game as the Bearcats and Cougars will tangle at 8 p.m. on Fox.
No. 12 BYU demolished TCU 44-13 in Provo late Saturday night, Nov. 15. Kalani Sitake and the Cougars are 9-1 with the one blemish, a loss to Texas Tech 29-7 Nov. 8.
UC is 0-for-3 against BYU with Tommy Tuberville's teams dropping a road game in 2015 and a home game in 2016. Scott Satterfield's first Big 12 team lost at Lavell Edwards Stadium 35-27 in 2023.
Cincinnati Bearcats Nipp at night
UC played one night game at Nippert last season, losing to TCU in the wintry season finale, 20-13. They lost four road night games to finish 0-5 under lights in 2024. In 2023, they played Miami University and Kansas under lights at Nippert, losing both. On the road, they won at Pitt and Houston and lost at BYU and Oklahoma State, giving them a 2-4 night-time record.
This season, UC lost at Arrowhead to Nebraska, won at Oklahoma State and were whacked at Utah for a 1-2 nocturnal record.
UC's last "Nipp at night" victory?
It came over three years ago, Nov. 11, 2022, against East Carolina in Luke Fickell's final season coaching the Bearcats.
When is US LBM Coaches poll out?
The new coaches poll should be out around 1 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 16. UC was ranked No. 22 in both polls last week, but Saturday's 30-24 loss to Arizona will likely bounce them from the Top 25.
Where do Cincinnati Bearcats rank in AP poll?
The AP poll will come out later Sunday afternoon.
