From the Coach
"I was very proud of the way our team dug in and fought," head coach Nick Bochette said. "We really toughed it out. We truly didn't have our best stuff early. Cincinnati put us under pressure early and committed to their gameplan. Credit to them, but credit to our team too on how we fought back after the first 15 minutes. We found a way to claw back in the game."

Up Next
The Owls will return home, hosting the Memphis Tigers on Sunday, Oct. 16. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. and will be broadcast live on ESPN+. Attendance is free for all fans.
