Cincinnati Makes Late Comeback, Clinches Big East Crown and BCS Bid
The offensive prowess of the Bearcats finally showed itself in the second half, as Cincinnati was able to make a late comeback and beat the Pittsburgh Panthers, 45-44 and secure a second straight Big East title.
The victory also secured the Big East’s automatic BCS bid for Tony Pike and the Bearcats. A Orange Bowl or Fiesta Bowl bid is likely in their future.
Pike led the Bearcats up and down the field on multiple drives in the second half, trying to match the output of Dion Lewis and the Panther offense, who scored 31 of their 44 points in the first period. Lewis would finish the game with 195 yards and three touchdowns, but it was not enough to outlast the undefeated Bearcats.
