Nippert at Night
A wild Friday night in Cincinnati last week as the #18 University of Central Florida Knights were in town. This was your basic slug fest from the opening kickoff till that final ‘fourth and inches’ play. The Bearcats’ star running back Michael Warren II had somehow been stopped short of the first down marker. The chain gang was summoned for a measurement and once again, the officiating crew did not indicate that Cincinnati had gained the first down needed to drain the clock’s sixty-two remaining seconds. With the ball on the UCF 47 yd line, Fickell turned the game over to his offensive lineman, a well conditioned bunch that Head Strength Coach Brady Collins trained by squatting and dragging sleds all summer. An offensive line that had, earlier this season, tested itself against some of the toughest defensive lineman in the country…. Coach didn’t waiver. First Down Bearcats. This would become Fickell’s signature win as Cincinnati coach:

These parachutists at Bearcat games are a real tradition here. It never gets old

Run forty yards and keep an eye on that dude coming up on your left. Then slow down, quick stop and let him pass you…then make a move and take off for another twenty yards to the 11 yard line. Pure determination..Kind of like watching old Jim Brown stuff. Michael Warren II for 60 crazy, charging, stop stepping yards.
Make em miss, Mike! 👊@MikeWarrenII eclipsed 2,000 career rushing yards on this 60 yard carry, becoming only the 13th player in 132 years of #Bearcats history to do so. pic.twitter.com/SpStrayA4Z

Coach Brady Collins, Director of Football Performance, likes sixty yard runs, as does Coach Dustin Tripp (red shirt)
I don’t know who these guys are. They love the Bearcats, though. Cincinnati WR Thomas Geddis loves the Cats, too
How many times does this have to hold up a game? Looks like a first down to me………
