CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Bearcats Football team enters its bye week down in the national rankings after a 45-14 loss to the Utah Utes on Saturday night. Cincinnati got smashed in all three phases of the game, prompting a big tumble nearly all the way out of the AP Top 25. They are now ranked 25th in the AP and Coaches Polls.

At Rice-Eccles Stadium late Saturday night, Nov. 1, No. 24 Utah held serve at home over the No. 16/17 Cincinnati Bearcats 45-14.

Utah has a playmaking quarterback, Devon Dampier, who is scheduled back after sitting out last week's 53-7 thrashing of Colorado.
