Featured Game | Cincinnati Bearcats vs. Tulsa Golden Hurricane
What you need to know about Tulsa
Tulsa let its last game get away against Navy, after heading into halftime locked up at 3-3. The Midshipmen managed to pull away by the end of the game, and won 20-17, handing the Golden Hurricane its first loss in the last three games. Quarterback Davis Brin wasn’t able to get things going consistently on offense, and finished with an interception, a lost fumble, and just 165 yards passing.
Tulsa has given up an average of 162 rushing yards per game this season, but that number is a bit skewed following Navy’s 300-yard day running the ball last weekend. The prior week against South Florida, Tulsa held the Bulls to just 268 yards of offense while producing 535 of its own. The combination of Shamari Brooks and Deneric Prince has been strong for the Golden Hurricane, and the two running backs have combined for 1,022 rushing yards this season.
What you need to know about Cincinnati
Cincinnati didn’t have much trouble with the Tulane on the road last weekend, and won 31-12. Quarterback Desmond Ridder threw three touchdowns and 227 yards on 27 attempts to power the offense. He added 47 rushing yards, but running back Jerome Ford had a rushing touchdown and scored another on a 26 yard reception.
Ridder’s 2,018 total yards this season are the 43rd-most by any individual player in the country. He actually has 69 fewer yards on the season than Brin, but his passer rating is 155.36, which is 30th in the nation and 23.84 points higher than his counterpart on Saturday. The Bearcats’ defense has been stellar in 2021 and allows the third-fewest yards per play in the nation (4.19).
