Brendan Sorsby threw for five touchdowns - all in the first quarter - and he ran for a 23-yard score to help Cincinnati beat Northwestern State 70-0 on Saturday. Cincinnati's 10 touchdowns tied a program record and the 70 points were the second-most in the modern era, trailing 72 against Austin Peay in 2011. Backup quarterback Brady Lichtenberg took over the Cincinnati offense midway through the second quarter. Lichtenberg connected with Cyrus Allen for the sixth touchdown pass in the first half for a 56-0 lead.

Cincinnati had 449 yards of offense in the first half, compared to just 45 for Northwestern State. The Bearcats also had a 21-3 edge in first downs by halftime. Sorsby finished 15 of 15 for 253 yards for Cincinnati (2-1). His longest touchdown pass was a 55-yarder to Caleb Goodie on the first play of the drive. Sorsby became the first Bearcat to throw five touchdowns in a quarter or a half. Sophomore Isaiah Johnson and tied end Joe Royer each had two touchdown receptions for Cincinnati. Northwestern State (1-2), which snapped a 20-game losing streak with a win over Alcorn State on August 28, agreed to play two 10-minute quarters in the second half. - 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 coach. 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 Nippert 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 Cincinnati 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 touchdowns for the Bearcats' first two scores. - Cincinnati/AP College Football

The linebacker's 12 tackles against Nebraska were his most as a Bearcat and put him among the Power Four leaders in Week One.

WEEK 1 CONFERENCE USA DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Tayden Barnes, NM State, RS-Fr., CB, Amarillo, Texas,...Barnes came up with one of the biggest plays of the Aggies' 23-16 season-opening win over SEMO with a game-sealing interception on the Redhawks' final possession. He also assisted on a crucial fourth-down stop that gave NM State the ball at the SEMO 35-yard line, setting up the eventual game-winning score. Barnes finished with a team-high nine tackles in his first appearance with the program, including five solo stops and 1.5 tackles for loss. Barnes had two critical pass breakups, tying for the most passes defended (3) among the league in week one. - Conference USA Football

Cincinnati Bearcats quarterback Brenan Sorsby had a strong first game in the Queen City on Saturday afternoon in the Bearcats 38-20 win over Towson. Sorsby threw for 383 yards and two touchdowns while adding two scores on the ground. The Bearcats took the ball to start the game and quickly went 75 yards for the opening score. Wide receiver Aaron Turner covered 49 yards on the drive, catching a short pass and sprinting all the way down to the Towson 16-yard line. Sorsby threw two touchdowns in the first quarter for 42 and 61 yards respectively. The Bearcats had eight plays for 20-plus yards.

Playing without defensive tackle Dontay Corleone, the Bearcats struggled to stop Towson's running game. The Tigers rushed for 194 yards on 5.2 yards per carry to keep the game close throughout. Cincinnati rushed for 275 yards, including a 64-yard touchdown run by Evan Pryor. After struggling to run the ball in the first half, gaining just 67 yards on the ground, the Bearcats found bigger chunks of yards in the second half. Special teams were a problem for the Bearcats, primarily in the first half. The Bearcats muffed a punt, had a kickoff go out of bounds, and kicker Carter Brown missed a 31-yard field goal. Michael Musaari, who muffed a punt in the first half, dropped another punt midway through the fourth quarter, but fell on the ball for his own recovery. - AP College Football

03/08/23 - Dee Wiggins, rSr/2024, Cincinnati, 6-3, 193 (DS#104 WR) + More +

Louisville transfer Dee Wiggins, a 6-foot-3, 195-pound wide receiver, found several balls Monday. Then again, after transferring from the Miami Hurricanes to Louisville, he's finally comfortable with a set of plays. "The transition for me is 100% perfect," Wiggins said. "This is my first year ever having the same playbook back-to-back. Since my freshman year I've had a different coach every year. I feel more confident and ready." A season-ending injury limited Wiggins to three games at Louisville last year.

He's now on a team that's about to have two receivers drafted into the NFL (Tyler Scott and Tre Tucker) and could fill a void. "Going hard every rep, that's a blessing!" Wiggins said of his day's work. "It's really on me to come out here and do it every day and be consistent. No matter where you go, you've got an opportunity. God created them, you've got to make them." The most experienced returning receiver is Chris Scott, who has added weight and is 6-foot-2, 205 pounds. The physiques of Washington State transfer Donovan Ollie, at 6-foot-3, 212 pounds, and 6-foot-4, 198-pound Sterling Berkhalter of North Carolina A&T (by way of Princeton High) are notable. - Cincinnati Enquirer

Cornerback Derrick Canteen tweeted Monday night that he has decided to transfer from Georgia Southern to Virginia Tech. He had tweeted on Dec. 13 that he was entering the transfer portal as a graduate transfer. Canteen made the All-Sun Belt Conference third team last fall, when he had 64 tackles, one sack, 12 pass breakups and one interception.

He made the All-Sun Belt Conference first team in 2020, when he tied for the FBS lead with six interceptions. He also had 48 tackles, 10 pass breakups, a forced fumble and one fumble recovery. He earned Freshman All-America honors that season. The 5-foot-11, 190-pound Canteen has three years of eligibility left, including the extra year of eligibility that the NCAA granted all 2020 fall-sports athletes because of the coronavirus pandemic. - Roanoke Times

Western Kentucky's football team took another loss to the NCAA transfer portal on Tuesday. Redshirt junior tight end Joey Beljan, who tallied 15 catches for 191 yards and four touchdowns this past season for WKU, was among a group of transfer signees announced Tuesday by Cincinnati. The departure of Beljan, a 6-foot-3, 250-pound native of Holland, N.J., leaves the Tops even thinner at the tight end position. - BG Daily News

01/12/23 - Malik Vann, rSr/2024, Cincinnati, 6-2, 267 (DS#101 DT) + More +

The University of Cincinnati's newly enlarged recruiting department announced five more transfers on Tuesday, adding to their latest recruiting class. But, as coach Scott Satterfield has said, "you have to recruit your own players". Though he never officially left, the biggest news on the Bearcat roster Tuesday was the return for a sixth year of eligibility for defensive lineman Malik Vann. Vann announced the news on Instagram in the afternoon and it was confirmed by University sources.

The 6-foot-4, 275-pound Vann played in only two games this season, suffering a pectoral injury in the home victory against Kennesaw State. He's been with the team since 2018 and has played in 49 career games. His best season came in 2021 when the Bearcats went to the Cotton Bowl in the national semifinal game against Alabama. He had 33.5 tackles that year, 8.5 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks. He now joins veteran Jowon Briggs on the new Bearcats defensive line coached by new defensive coordinator Bryan Brown. Brown's defensive line at Louisville led the nation in sacks last season. - Cincinnati Enquirer

01/11/23 - Emory Jones, rSr/2024, Cincinnati, 6-2, 203 (DS#29 QB) + More +

Quarterback Emory Jones was announced on Coach Satterfield's first signing day. During Arizona State's difficult 3-9 season he was in eight games and threw for seven touchdowns. He had games of 261 yards vs. Utah, 243 vs. USC and 227 vs. Stanford. He was 7-for-9 for 59 yards when the Sun Devils upset then-top-25 Washington State.

The 6-foot-2, 211-pound signal caller was with Florida for four years and started in 2021 throwing for 2,734 yards and 19 touchdowns while running for 758 yards. "Emory is the guy who's played in the SEC," Satterfield said on signing day. "He's won big games in the SEC. I do think he's got a tremendous upside. He's got a lot of talent. He's got a really good arm and he can run as well. So it kind of fits what we want with that. I also believe it's important to be able to land a quarterback of his caliber at this stage to be able to help us in the wide receiver room." - Cincinnati Enquirer

01/08/23 - Darian Varner, rSr/2025, Cincinnati, 6-2, 265 (DS#999 DE) + More +

Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell noted last month that one unit in need of more bodies was the defensive line. UW moved closer to adding another prospect on Thursday when Temple's Darian Varner announced he planned to join the Badgers. Varner, 6-foot-2 and 260 pounds, has two seasons of eligibility remaining. A native of Norfolk, Virginia, Varner last month announced he planned to transfer to Virginia Tech. UW's coaches were able to change his mind.

Varner played in 10 of 12 games this past season, missing the final two games because of a foot injury. He finished with 7 1/2 sacks and 12 1/2 tackles for losses, both the No. 2 mark on the team, and 35 total tackles and was named first-team all-American Athletic Conference. Varner redshirted in 2020 and recorded a combined three sacks and seven tackles for loss in 11 games in 2021. UW must replace nose tackle Keeanu Benton, who led the unit in sacks (4 ½), tackles for loss (10) and total tackles (35). - Journal Sentinel
