Brendan Sorsby threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score to help No. 21 Cincinnati beat Baylor 41-20 on Saturday. The Bearcats (7-1, 5-0 Big 12) have won seven straight for the first time since 2021 when they reached the College Football Playo ff. Baylor (4-4, 2-3) trailed 24-0 late in the first half, then cut it to 27-20 early in the fourth quarter behind two touchdown passes and a rushing TD by Sawyer Robertson. Sorsby's 23-yard TD run capped a 12-play, 75-yard drive that took more than seve n minutes to make it 34-20 with six minutes left. It was Sorsby's fourth TD run of 20 or more yards this season. Cincinnati started fast again Saturday.The Bears got a third-down stop on the Bearcats' first possession, but a pass-interference pena lty gave Cincinnati a first down. A 1-yard touchdown run by Tawee Walker capped an 81-yard drive to put the Bearcats ahead 7-0. After a sack on third down resulted in a Baylor punt, Cincinnati drove 66 yards in 10 plays and Evan Pryor's 5-yard TD run mad e the score 14-0. Josh Cameron's catch and fumble for the game's first turnover led to Sorsby's 6-yard TD pass to Cyrus Allen that made it 24-0 with 2:34 left in the half. - Cincinnati/AP College Football

Brendan Sorsby threw three touchdown passes and ran for a score and No. 24 Cincinnati took control late and beat Oklahoma State 49-17 on Saturday night for its sixth straight victory. Sorsby completed 20 of 29 passes for 270 yards and Cyrus Allen caught two touchdown passes and ran for a score for Cincinnati (6-1, 4-0 Big 12). They paced an offense that gained 427 yards. Matthew McDoom returned an interception 100 yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter - the longest interception return in school hi story - to help the Bearcats become bowl eligible for the first time in coach Scott Satterfield's three years at Cincinnati. "Congratulations men," Satterfield told the team in the locker room. "We're going bowling, baby!" The Bearcats are positioned to do much more than merely go to a bowl game. Cincinnati and BYU are the only remaining unbeaten teams in league play after Arizona State's win over previously unbeaten Texas Tech on Saturday. "But we want to go to one of them good bowls, so we've got to k eep winning, right?" Satterfield said to the team. "We've got to keep this thing going." Rodney Fields Jr. ran for a career-high 163 yards and caught three passes for 27 yards for the Cowboys (1-6, 0-4). An energetic crowd that showed up despite the team 's struggles couldn't save Oklahoma State from its sixth straight defeat.It was the Cowboys' fourth straight loss since firing coach Mike Gundy, and all have been by double digits. "Just some little minor miscues that turned catastrophic, you know what I mean," Oklahoma State interim coach Doug Meacham said. "It's like a little bitty thing that just completely implodes on us." Sorsby threw all three of his touchdown passes in the first half to help Cincinnati take a 28-10 lead. The Bearcats score d four touchdowns on four possessions in the first half. Fields broke loose for a 20-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter to cut the deficit to 28-17 before Cincinnati took charge. - Cincinnati/AP College Football

In its third season in the Big 12, Cincinnati has the look of a Power Five program on and off the field. The No. 24 Bearcats are on a five-game winning streak and ranked in the AP Top 25 for the first time in nearly three years. Besides the 5-1 record, t hey are tied with No. 7 Texas Tech and 15th-ranked BYU atop the conference at 3-0. "I think we've played well all year. The key was bringing back the core nucleus of our team last year and adding a few pieces. It's been a good gel, good mesh. The challen ge is to keep doing that," coach Scott Satterfield said in his office overlooking the field at the Sheakley Indoor Practice Facility and Performance Center. The football program moved into the $134 million building in June.It has been a steady cli mb for Cincinnati, which was the first non-Power Five team to make the College Football Playoff in 2021. Before this week, the last time the Bearcats were ranked was when it was No. 21 on Nov. 20, 2022. The Bearcats joined the Big 12 in 2023 and went 3-9 and 1-8 in conference play. They started 5-2 last season before ending the year on a five-game losing streak. A win at Oklahoma State Saturday night would not surpass UC's conference wins from last year; it would make them bowl eligible for the first ti me since 2022. Rebuilding jobs have become Satterfield's forte. He helped guide Appalachian State from the Football Championship Subdivision to FBS and then went to Louisville after struggles in the Atlantic Coast Conference. - AP College Football

The Big 12 has hit the midpoint of its season with a pair of 6-0 teams, and in many ways it is no surprise that No. 7 Texas Tech and No. 15 BYU are in that position. No. 24 Cincinnati is the only other Big 12 team to win its first three conference games, making the Bearcats (5-1, 3-0 Big 12) an easy choice as the most surprising team by AP writers who cover the league. With efficient quarterback Brendan Sorsby and linebacker Jake Golday, the Big 12's leading tackler at 9.3 per game, Cincinnati has a fiv e-game winning streak since opening coach Scott Satterfield's third season with a loss to Nebraska. They have already matched last year's win total. Sorsby ranks third in the Big 12 at 295.8 total yards per game, behind only Baylor's Sawyer Robertson and TCU's Josh Hoover, who are 1-2 nationally in passing yards and TDs. Sorsby has thrown for 1,448 yards and 14 touchdowns with only one interception, and run for another 327 yards and five scores. - AP College Football

Brendan Sorsby passed for 191 yards and two touchdowns, both to receiver Jeff Caldwell, helping Cincinnati win its fifth straight game, 20-11 over UCF on Saturday. The Bearcats (5-1, 3-0 Big 12) won despite being outgained 413 to 306. Due to injuries to two other quarterbacks, Florida Atlantic transfer Cam Fancher made his second start of the season for UCF (3-3, 0-3) and passed for 222 yards while rushing for 108 yards and a touchdown.The Knights held their first five opponents scoreless in the first quarter this season before Sorsby found Caldwell for a 40-yard touchdown pass to put Cincinnati ahead 7-0. Sorsby, the nation's highest-rated QB (91.1) through five games according to Pro Football Focus, connected with Caldwell again in the second quarter for a 9-yard TD to make the score 14-0. UCF's pass defense, which ranked 15th nationally with 150.8 yards allowed per game, limited Sorsby to 116 yards passing until tight end Joe Royer's 67-yard reception with 59 seconds left in the third quarte r. Royer's big play set up Stephen Rusnak's second field goal, a 24-yarder to make the score 20-3 early in the fourth. - Cincinnati/AP College Football

Cincinnati quarterback Brendan Sorsby threw for three touchdowns and ran for another as the Bearcats posted a 34-20 win over the Falcons and former NFL running back and Ohio State Heisman Trophy winner Eddie George, who took his first loss as an FBS coac h. George, the 1995 Heisman winner with Ohio State, took over as head coach at Bowling Green (1-1) this season after four years leading FCS Tennessee State. He brought his team and social media sensation Pudge the Cat, the Bowling Green mascot, into Nipp ert Stadium to face the Bearcats (1-1), who led all the way after Sorsby's 44-yard TD pass to Cyrus Allen.Bearcats coach Scott Satterfield used a short passing game through three quarters until Sorsby rushed the last 27 yards late in the third to lead 31-10. Sorsby threw for 333 yards. George elected to punt for field position twice in the first half rather than take a risk on fourth-and-short.. The Falcons punted on fourth-and-1 from the Bowling Green 47 in the first quarter and again from the C incinnati 41 in the second quarter on fourth-and-3. That second time backfired as Cincinnati drove 89 yards to score its third touchdown and take a 21-0 lead on Sorsby's 9-yard toss to Jeff Caldwell. Sorsby connected with Allen for 44- and 2-yard touchdo wns for the Bearcats' first two scores. - Cincinnati/AP College Football
