West Virginia maintained the tie by holding UC inside the five yard line mid-way through the quarter.
UC lined up for a field goal attempt but a Mountaineer lineman was offside, giving UC the ball on the 1 1/2 yard line.
Coach Butch Jones decided to go for the touchdown but Zach Collaras was stopped six inches from the goal line. West Virginia lost three more inches because defensive back, Darwin Cook dived onto the pile late.
West Virginia maintained possession but ran three plays for no gain. Mountaineer punter Mike Molinari got his team out of the whole with a 58-yard punt. A block in the back moved Cincinnati back to its own 41.
