It will be Arizona's eighth straight game with a kickoff time at 6 p.m. or earlier — the second one with a morning kickoff. The Wildcats faced the Houston Cougars at 9 a.m. last month. 

When Arizona faces 25th-ranked Cincinnati next week, it'll be the first-ever matchup between the Wildcats and Bearcats, which joined the Big 12 in 2023 after stints in the American Athletic Conference and Big East. 

Cincinnati is led by third-year head coach Scott Satterfield, who is leading the Bearcats to their first winning season since 2022. Cincinnati quarterback Brendan Sorsby has the third-most rushing yards by a Big 12 quarterback this season behind Utah's Devon Dampier and BYU's Bear Bachmeier. Cincy is fourth in the conference in total offense and rushing offense. 

The Bearcats (7-2) enter a bye week after a 45-14 beatdown by 24th-ranked Utah in Salt Lake City on Saturday. Cincinnati, now third in the Big 12 standings, suffered its first loss in conference play. 

Arizona (5-3) hosts Kansas (5-4) for homecoming at Arizona Stadium Saturday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. on ESPN2. Winner of the Arizona-KU matchup becomes bowl eligible.
