The 2019 schedule for the University of Cincinnati football team was released Tuesday by American Athletic Conference Commissioner Mike Aresco. (Per GoBearcats)
Fresh off of an 11-2 season the Bearcats will have a tough non-conference schedule highlighted by a home game against UCLA and an away game at Ohio State. They also will face Miami of Ohio at home and Marshall on the road.
The shocker of the schedule is they will play UCF in the first American Athletic Conference game of the season at Nippert. Last year that was a late game, but the AAC must want eyes on the conference early with this thinking. Houston and Memphis will be key away games in conference both of whom they didn’t play last season. I bet #BearcatNation is happy they don’t have to see Navy after their style of play took out Perry Young for the season. Temple is at home and the last home game of the season so that could be a fun Senior Day.
