Associated PressThe AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! “It’s on the road against an ACC team that won the ACC two years ago.” Emory Jones threw for 125 yards and two scores for the Bearcats, who built a 20-point second-half lead before holding on in the renewal of the River City Rivalry after an 11-year hiatus. Jurkovec fumbled on Pitt’s first possession of the second half and Jones responded by finding a diving Braden Smith for a 21-yard score that seemed to have the Bearcats firmly in control. You can’t win when your quarterback gets sacked five times.” THE TAKEAWAY Cincinnati: The Bearcats may have one of the best defensive players in the country in sophomore nose tackle Dontay Corleone. The player known as “The Godfather” sacked Jurkovec for a 10-yard loss late in the third quarter when he pushed a Pitt lineman back so far Corleone was practically standing next to Jurkovec when he cast the lineman aside and threw Jurkovec to the ground.
