How every Big 12 football team fared in CFB Week 1
By Kyle Jones
Cincinnati Bearcats — 66-13 Win vs Eastern Kentucky
Both of Cincinnati’s top receivers left for the NFL in the offseason, but that didn’t stop Emory Jones from putting up 345 passing yards and five touchdowns in his first game as a Bearcat. Xzavier Henderson led the way for the receiving corps with 149 yards and a touchdown. Nine others caught a pass in the game, while five others caught a touchdown. The scoring was early and often for the Bearcats, putting up 21 points in each of the first two quarters. They scored double-digit points in all four quarters on their way to a convincing win over Eastern Kentucky.
An old-school Big East rivalry will be renewed next week when Cincy heads east to take on Pitt.
