HOMECOMING GAME LEADS TO BIG WIN AGAINST UCONN

BEARCATS PUT DOWN HUSKIES CLAUDE THOMPSON | STAFF REPORTER

In the midst of a downpour in Nippert Stadium, the University of Cincinnati Bearcat football team turned in a fulfilled effort Saturday by defeating the University of Connecticut Huskies 37-13. The Bearcats’ winning effort came on homecoming night in front of over 40,000 fans. Football does not stop for rain, but

the rain. Our managers did a great job of rotating out towels and keeping the balls dry and, every series coming off, they’d always have a towel ready.” This was the 12th meeting between the Bearcats and Huskies, who have been division rivals since UC joined the Big East conference in 2005. Cincinnati has won 10 out of the 12 matchups and has never lost to

nor did the rain stop for football when the skies opened up twice during the contest to pour heavy amounts of rain on the cheering fans, players and coaches. The rain did not stop Cincinnati’s offense, who combined for 612 total yards via the running and passing games. Despite not attempting a pass in the fourth quarter, UC’s junior starting quarterback Gunner Kiel had one of his better games completing 26 of his 35 passes and passing two touchdowns. “Gunner throws a good wet ball,” said UC head coach Tommy Tuberville. “He’s got pretty decent-sized hands and he throws the wet ball well and that makes a huge difference for a quarterback.” Kiel proved his coach’s statement of the weather holding no affect over his play. Kiel said he didn’t mind the weather. “I can throw the ball in any type of weather. I always pride myself that I can throw the ball pretty well in

the Huskies in front of their home crowd. “We actually looked like a football team on the field tonight,”Tuberville said. “We left a few points out there on offense, but we can’t have any complaints. We left around 11 points out there in the first half. I thought we handled the weather pretty well.” The Bearcats’ defense held UConn in check for a majority of the night. The team held UConn’s sophomore starting quarterback Bryant Shirreffs to only 87 yards through the air Saturday, after he came off a 365 passing-yard effort against the University of South the week prior. Despite having a poor passing game, Shirreffs ran the ball well and led the team with 97 yards. “Really proud of the defense,”Tuberville said. “[Shirreffs] did the same thing last week against South Florida where he would drop back, not go through his reads, pull the ball down and just start running the ball. We wanted him to do it, because when you start hitting a quarterback 10 to 15 times in the first half, it starts to take its toll.” Bearcats junior safety Zach Edwards stood out for UC’s defense after having eight tackles, a pass breakup and a forced fumble. “Our defensive line stepped up big tonight,” Edwards said. “It was a key factor. We knew going in that our D-line had to play well. The game starts and ends with them. When they get a rush and stop the run, then [the other team] has to pass. Our pass rush was great tonight, too.” The Bearcats move to 4-3 on the season and prepare for another home game against the University of Central Florida at 12 p.m. on Saturday. ESPNews will air the game.

Students undress for Nearly Naked Mile charity MATT NICHOLS | COLLEGE LIFE EDITOR

Dressed in only undergarments, University of Cincinnati students took advantage of one of their only legal opportunities to streak nearly naked through campus while also raising money for charity. Organized by Cincinnatus Scholarship Program, the Nearly Naked Mile gathered hundreds of Bearcats Wednesday evening on Sigma Sigma Commons for a 1-mile run that ended in Nippert Stadium. The ninth annual event raises money to benefit the St. Vincent de Paul society. Funds go towards buying coats and clothes for underprivileged children in the Cincinnati community. “It’s an event that’s died down in spirit,” said Nickolas Stenger, a fifth-year marketing and finance student and event volunteer. “Our two main goals are to get back to the community and to increase campus spirit.” As a new initiative, the organization charged students a $10 entrance fee. The first 250 students to sign up received a UC homecoming tank top and a bag with over $15 in coupons at local eateries. “We’ve been in the pit these past few years and we wanted to actually donate back, so that was the only reason we decided to charge a fee,” Stenger said.

Homecoming parade honors Nippert, alumni CAMRI NELSON | STAFF REPORTER

In anticipation for the homecoming football game, Bearcat fans gathered Saturday afternoon to celebrate Nippert Stadium’s 100th anniversary and participate in the 2015 Homecoming Parade. Organized by UC’s Alumni Association, the parade is the group’s longest-standing tradition according to Bri Coggins, UC Alumni Association’s associate director of campus engagement. “My favorite part of the parade is when the sirens go off in the beginning because it represents the hard work of the Alumni,” Coggins said. The Bearcat marching band led the parade with UC’s Alma Mater as well as other popular Bearcat spirit songs. Fraternities like Theta Phi Alpha and Pi Kappa Alpha rode vehicles and floats that displayed banners reading “Beat UConn” on the back and “The Cats are Back” on the front.
