Next goal for UC Bearcats football is stopping Arizona's Noah Fifita

The University of Cincinnati football program is preparing for its first road trip outside the state this October, facing Arizona in an unusually late kickoff scheduled for 11 p.m. Eastern time.

This marks the program's latest start since a 2008 matchup in Hawaii, prompting head coach Scott Satterfield's squad to adjust its travel schedule by departing on Thursday. Cincinnati enters the contest aiming to contain dynamic opposing quarterback Noah Fifita, whose early season performance features over one thousand passing yards and double-digit touchdowns, while UC counters with quarterback JC French IV.
