CINCINNATI — Goodyear just struck a new deal to stay on as the Cotton Bowl's title sponsor and built a few unique statues to celebrate.

The company unveiled renditions of the Alabama mascot "Big Al" and UC's "Bearcat" made entirely out of car tires. Check out the two opposing mascots next to the Cotton Bowl Trophy.

Cincinnati takes on Alabama this Friday at 3:30 p.m. ET with a shot at playing for the national title up for grabs.
