CINCINNATI — Saturday's 34-23 loss to Colorado was Cincinnati's lowest-graded PFF game as a team this season. The Bearcats earned a 62.2 mark after the numbers rolled in from a big blow to their Big 12 title hopes.

On offense, RB Corey Kiner led the whole unit by far with a 78.3 overall mark. Only four other Bearcats on that side graded above 65 overall in LT John Williams (69), RB Evan Pryor (68), WR Tony Johnson (67.4), and TE Joe Royer (65.9).

The bottom-three marks went to QB Brendan Sorsby (53.7) in his worst PFF outing at UC, WR Xzavier Henderson (52), and FB Francis Sherman (30.4).

Flipping to the defensive side of the ball, LB Jonathan Thompson (90) had a stellar showing all night long to pace the unit. The rest of the top-five grades looked like LB Brian Simms (75.5), DT Cam Roetherford (69.4), DT Dontay  Corleone (67.9), and CB Kalen Carroll (67.1).

Cincinnati's lowest marks went to DE Eric Phillips (49.8), safety Tre Gola-Callard (52.8), and DE Marquaze Parker (52.9). They get a couple of weeks to regroup before a home matchup against West Virginia.
