10/19/25 - QB Brendan Sorsby, rJr/2027, Cincinnati, (DS#3 QB)

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 history - 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 keep 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 scored 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
