Cincinnati Rolls Past Oklahoma State, Clinches Bowl Spot

Cincinnati rolled past Oklahoma State 49-17 in Stillwater, moving to 6-1, clinching bowl eligibility and taking a share of the Big 12 lead. Quarterback Brendan Sorsby completed 20 of 29 passes for 370 yards with two passing touchdowns and added a rushing score, while Cyrus Allen accounted for three touchdowns as the Bearcats scored on all four first-half drives and averaged 7.1 yards per play. Cincinnati’s balanced, high-efficiency offense exploited Oklahoma State’s struggling pass defense and the loss of its top cornerback to injury. Oklahoma State, playing under new playcaller Kevin Johns, mixed runs and got some third-down stops but could not force turnovers or keep pace. The Bearcats return home as favorites against Baylor as they press forward in the Big 12 race.
