Cincinnati Jumps in Front of Fordham

The Bearcats offense didn't get on the field until 4:45 left in the first quarter but did so with a 7-3 lead.

Fordham was putting together a nice drive when Rams quarterback Ryan Higgins fumbled after a hit by Dan Giordano.  Deven Drane picked up the ball and raced 76 yards for a touchdown. 

The Rams took the kickoff  and drove to the Bearcats' 28.  All-American candidate kicker Patrick Murray kicked a 46-yard field goal.

Munchie Legaux and his offense ran it's first play with under five minutes to play.  Legaux connected with Travis Kelce on a 78-yard pass play with 3:39 remaining in the quarter.

Fordham had the ball for 12:14 in the quarter but Cincinnati outgained them 106-94 with just 2:49 time of possesion.
