Cincinnati rallies from 21-point halftime deficit to defeat Miami (Ohio) 35-31 on Tabb’s TD run
Cincinnati rebounded from a 21-point halftime deficit to beat Miami (Ohio) 35-31 in Saturday's 129th edition of the "Battle for the Victory Bell." Freshman running back Cole Tabb powered in a 53-yard touchdown run with just 1:29 left to propel the Bearcats to a thrilling victory. Tabb, who had two rushing touchdowns, eluded tackles near the line of scrimmage and outran defenders for his game-clinching score.
Miami, which led for the first 58 1/2 minutes, was held scoreless in the final quarter. Cincinnati quarterback JC French IV completed 31 of 43 passes for 309 yards and two touchdowns, including a 1-yard score midway through the third quarter. Miami's Scoop Smith returned the opening kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown, the first time since 2018 that Miami had done so. Cincinnati will host Kansas State in its Big 12 opener next Saturday.
