First Quarter


The game kicked off with the Bearcats setting an early tone. Brendan Sorsby, Cincinnati's quarterback, orchestrated a precise drive that culminated in a touchdown pass. This initial strike gave Cincy a 7-point lead and set the stage for their offensive prowess throughout the game.


Second Quarter


In the second quarter, Sorsby continued his aerial dominance by connecting on multiple long passes. His accuracy was evident as he completed 71 percent of his throws for an impressive total of 333 yards and three touchdowns by halftime. The Cats' defense also held firm, allowing only a field goal from Bowling Green.


Third Quarter


As play resumed after halftime, Cincinnati maintained their momentum. A key play came when Cyrus Allen caught one of Sorsby's longest passes for a touchdown that extended their lead significantly. On defense, Jack Dingle made crucial tackles and contributed to one of four sacks against Bowling Green's quarterback.


Fourth Quarter


Despite some resistance from the Falcons in the final quarter where they managed to score ten points, it was too little too late. Stephen Rusnak added three more points for Cincy with his reliable kicking performance—making both field goal attempts without fail.


The Cincinnati Bearcats vs Bowling Green Falcons final score reflected not just numbers but also strategic execution and individual brilliance on both sides of the ball for Cincy.
