Live scores, highlights and updates as No. 18 UCF visits Cincinnati for a pivotal AAC game
Cincinnati is 1-3 against UCF since 2015, but it will have a chance to close the gap on Friday. An AAC battle is on tap between the Bearcats and No. 18 Knights with kickoff set for at 8 p.m. ET at Nippert Stadium. Both teams have set a high bar for this contest after standout offensive performances in their previous games. Cincinnati ran circles around Marshall last week, winning 52-14. Quarterback Desmond Ridder had a stellar game as he passed for 221 yards and four touchdowns. Meanwhile, UCF was successful in a 56-21 domination of UConn.
Those respective wins bumped Cincinnati to 3-1 and UCF to 4-1.

UCF, on the other hand, averages 336 yards passing, good for 10th best in the nation. These opposing strengths should make for an exciting matchup and a key showdown in the AAC as the Bearcats look to make a big move against a no longer undefeated but still dangers Knights team.
END 3Q: The No. 18 Knights are in danger on the road, down 20-16 heading into the final quarter. A loss would snap UCF's 19-game AAC winning streak should Cincinnati hold on.
