Cincinnati suffered a 31-24 loss to West Virginia, with running back Evan Pryor earning a top PFF grade of 74.1, while quarterback Brendan Sorsby struggled with a team-low grade of 41.6. The defense was highlighted by Logan Wilson’s impressive 91.6 grade and overall strong performances from the front seven. Meanwhile, NC State's freshman quarterback CJ Bailey expressed frustration after a 29-19 defeat to Duke, citing missed opportunities in the red zone as a key issue. Duke's defense was effective, limiting NC State's scoring chances, particularly for star receiver KC Concepcion.
