No. 6 Utah Improves to 8-0 with 49-25 Win over Cincinnati
The Utes scored twice on turnovers and built a 42-6 halftime lead behind Davis’s interception return, keeping the streak alive.
On Saturday, the Utah Utes extended their nation-leading winning streak to 14 games, defeating the Cincinnati Bearcats 49-25. The victory improves Utah to 8-0, maintaining their unbeaten Big 12 conference record.
Utah cornerback Elijah Davis returned an interception 39 yards for a touchdown, extending the program's record streak of consecutive seasons with a pick-six to 23. The defensive score capped a dominant first-half performance.
Quarterback Devon Dampier threw for 260 yards and two touchdowns, including a 59-yard connection with tight end Hunter Andrews. Andrews finished with five catches for 112 yards and two touchdowns.
Safety Rabbit Evans returned a fumble 51 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter, pushing Utah's lead to 21-3. The Utes led 42-6 at halftime after scoring on all four offensive possessions.
