Eastern Kentucky Colonels at Cincinnati Bearcats

Saturday, 2:30 p.m. CT, ESPN+

The Bearcats have plenty of new pieces on offense heading into 2023. It might take time for Scott Satterfield to get accustomed to Big 12 football, but Eastern Kentucky is a measly opponent talent-wise. Veteran signal caller Emory Jones should tear the EKU defense (that returns practically nobody) to shreds en route to an easy win.

Final Score Prediction: 35-13, Cincinnati
