21 Ranked Bearcats Improve to 5-0

The Fordham Rams battled as hard as they could for as long as they could but in the end the Cincinnati Bearcats won it's fifth game of the season in a 49-17 rout.

Seven different Cincinnati players scored touchdowns, including all three quarterbacks, Munchie Legaux, Jordan Luallen and Brandon Kay.

Deven Drane scored the first one on a 76-yard return of a recovered fumble.

Travis Kelce (78 yards) and Danny Milligan (29 yards) caught touchdown passes from Legaux.

Ralph David Abernathy IV had the longest run from scrimmage of his career when he took a handoff 36 yards.

Reserve tailback Tion Green contributed 28 yards on three carries.  Milligan returned a punt 42 yards for UC.

The most impressive performance on the Fordham side came from placekicker, Patrick Murray.  The senior from Mahwah, New Jersey and Don Bosco Prep, kicked three field goals 46, 55 and 38 yards.  The 55-yard field goal broke his own Fordham record.

Quarterback Ryan Higgins had a costly fumble the Drane returned for a touchdown but he completed 31 of 42 passes for 262 yards.  Carlton Koonce rushed for 76 yards on 22 carries for Fordham.  Brian Wetzel caught nine passes for 121 yards, including a 12-yard touchdown catch.  Higgins also completed a two-point conversion to Mason Halter.

The Bearcats play the next two games on the road.

They take on Toledo next Saturday, then archrival Louisville on Friday October 26.
