CINCINNATI —The Bearcats football team walloped Houston 34-0 on Saturday and had some strong PFF grades to show for it. On offense, Brendan Sorsby (83.6 PFF grade) led the way with his highest mark of the season in another impressive performance to start his UC career.

All in all eight, offensive players tallied 70-plus grades, led by Sorsby, RB Chance Williams (75.7 grade on seven snaps), TE Devyn Zahursky (75.4 grade on 11 snaps), TE Gavin Grover (75.4 grade on 24 snaps), and WR Sterling Berkhalter (75.2 grade on 30 snaps).

On the other end, Cincinnati's bottom three grades went to OL Deondre Buford (55.6 grade on 39 snaps), OL Phillip Wilder (54.3 grade on 43 snaps), and OL Jonathan Harder (54.2 grade on 21 snaps).

Flipping to the defense, LB Jared Bartlett (87 grade on 38 snaps), and CB Jordan Robinson (83 grade on 21 snaps) had stellar games as the two lone 80-plus grades. Cincinnati also got strong showings from safety Antwan Peek Jr. (77.5 grade on 14 snaps), CB Ormanie Arnold (75.5 grade on 25 snaps), and DL Cam Roetherford (75.4 grade on 19 snaps) among seven players to earn 70-plus grades.

At the bottom, UC saw LB Simeon Coleman (32.4 grade on 22 snaps), DE Drew Logan (43.3 grade on seven snaps), and DE Darian Varner (7.6 grade on 28 snaps) post lowly graded outings. It was a stellar defensive day overall and the perfect way to start Big 12 play.
