The Cincinnati Bearcats displayed their dynamic offense and stifling defense to defeat the Arizona State Sun Devils 24-14, anchored by Brendan Sorsby's 206 passing yards and two rushing TDs. The pivotal moments occurred in the first half when the Bearcats scored 24 consecutive points after forcing two vital turnovers, including a fumble caused by Antwan Peek Jr. His father, Antwan Peek Sr., a Cincinnati legend in that department, would have been proud. The Bearcats' rush attack, led by Evan Pryor's explosive 55-yard TD, marked a return to form with 191 total rushing yards.
Arizona State's early promise, marked by Cam Skattebo's initial TD, was nullified by missed opportunities, including two field-goal attempts by Ian Hershey in the fourth quarter. Despite Jeff Sims' efforts under center for the Sun Devils, their offense struggled with turnovers and scheme inefficiencies, as noted by coach Kenny Dillingham. Cincinnati's unwavering defense and efficient game management sealed the deal, pushing them further in the Big 12 title race.
