CINCINNATI — Brendan Sorsby has performed pretty well to start his Bearcats tenure with another rivalry matchup on deck this weekend against Miami (OH). Sorsby's amassed a 70.1 PFF grade and an 84.3 ESPN QBR (16th nationally) across UC's first two games.

He's played well enough for Cincinnati to be 2-0, but Sorsby and the rest of the team have some mistakes to clean up amidst a 1-1 start. It's notable that Sorsby tweaked his ankle in the middle of Saturday's game, but it won't keep him off the field

"Some pressures we hadn't seen, and just kind of had us outnumbered there. The stuff that I could control, just missing a couple throws high, not sure exactly what it was," Sorsby said about what he can clean up. "Obviously, I like to think that I can make any throw out there. So really, just staying on top of the ball and, you know, driving it."

The offensive leader liked what he saw from the team's response to the loss in recent days. Cincinnati is sparking a short memory to flush the collapse and get focused on it's next rivalry.

"We've put it behind us," Sorsby told the media. "We're on to Miami. You know, it's a game that we feel good about, that we want to go and ring the bell. So that's one of our team goals. So, we're gonna go do it. And obviously everybody was disappointed about the game on Saturday and the outcome of it, but we're not gonna let it define us. It's one game. It's early on in the year. So we're gonna move on and find a way to put it behind us.

Sorsby has thrown five touchdowns and no interceptions across the opening two outings.

"I think he's gonna continue to get better as he understands more and more what we're trying to do offensively," Satterfield said about his QB's growth. "He's got a great grasp of it. But, I think he's a good player. He's a talented player. He can throw the football. He's been making good decisions. So if he just continues to do that, then he'll continue to put great stats up. So it's all about taking what the defense is giving us and not trying to force the ball.

"We did try to force one and the guy picked it off, but he was out of bounds in the end zone, but it was a forced throw. We got to eliminate all those and just take what they give us. He continues to do that, man, he'll look up at the end of the game and the end of the season, and he'll have great stats. But but it's all about moving the offense getting first downs and then scoring touchdowns, That's the job of the quarterback and that's what we got to do a better job of.
