UC Bearcats face another dangerous QB in Houston's Conner Weigman
Conner Weigman is the latest top Big 12 quarterback the Cincinnati Bearcats must face as they try to reach bowl eligibility.
As the Cincinnati Bearcats prepare to face No. 17 Houston on Saturday, Nov. 7 at TDECU Stadium, the Big 12 once again provides a formidable challenge for the Bearcats' offense. This time, the opponent's quarterback is Conner Weigman, who proved to be a tough matchup for UC last season. With a passing efficiency of 14th in the nation, Weigman has completed 20 touchdowns this season, outperforming other Big 12 quarterbacks such as Noah Fifita and Devon Dampier.
Weigman's skillset makes him a dangerous opponent for the Bearcats, who struggle against versatile passers. Houston leads the nation in third-down efficiency at 60%, showcasing their offensive prowess. In contrast, Cincinnati's offensive struggles are evident, having only won five of their last 15 games. Despite Houston's home-field advantage and recent victory over UC 24-14 in 2023, the Bearcats remain confident in their ability to overcome the challenge ahead.
