With the win, the Wildcats improved to 8-3 overall and 5-3 in the Big 12, keeping their slim conference title hopes alive with one game left next Saturday at Iowa State. Cincinnati fell to 5-6 and 3-5.

Now, Cincinnati will pose some threats against a porous K-State secondary. Bearcats quarterback Brendan Sorsby is averaging 245.3 passing yards per game. Much lesser quarterbacks have torched the Wildcats through the air.
