Final Huddle: UC Stamps 'Nipp at Night' With 27-25 Victory over East Carolina
CINCINNATI — The 'Nipp at Night' magic narrowly continued for Cincinnati (8-2, 5-1) in a 27-25 win over the East Carolina Pirates (6-4, 3-3).
Huge plays fueled UC as they scored back-to-back-to-back 50-plus yard touchdowns to take a lead they had to wrestle back in the second half.
Cincinnati went 1-3 in home night games during Luke Fickell's first season. Since then, UC is now 9-0 in those spots following Friday's triumph.
"This is what us looks like it," Luke Fickell said about the gutty win. "Might not be what everybody wants, because you hear [the crowd] booing at times. You know they might want something different, but the reality is this is what us looks like, and us is still pretty darn good.”
The 2022 Bearcats got it done in front of 2021 stars Desmond Ridder and Ahmad "Sauce" to keep pace in the AAC title race. Here's the Final Huddle on UC's fifth-straight win over East Carolina.
