Cincinnati hands Eddie George his first loss as an FBS coach

On Saturday, Cincinnati quarterback Brendan Sorsby threw three touchdown passes and ran for another as the Bearcats posted a 34-20 win at Nippert Stadium, handing Eddie George, Bowling Green head coach and 1995 Heisman winner, his first FBS coaching loss.
Coach Eddie George twice opted to punt on fourth-and-1 from the Bowling Green 47 and fourth-and-3 from Cincinnati's 41 in the first half, then failed a fourth-and-2 at Cincinnati's 2 as Leo Kemp was held to 1 yard by Jake Golday.
Bearcats coach Scott Satterfield leaned on a short passing attack until Brendan Sorsby rushed 27 yards late in the third to push the lead to 31-10, while Donte Corleone left twice due to an ankle issue.
Cincinnati Bearcats, now 1-1, return home to face Northwestern State next Saturday, while Bowling Green Falcons will host Liberty next Saturday.
Offensively, Bowling Green connected when Drew Pine found Jyrin Johnson for a score, and the Falcons brought social-media mascot Pudge the Cat into Nippert Stadium.
