The 2009 Football schedule for the University of Cincinnati Bearcats has been announced and shows many great match ups. The Bearcats open the season with a Thursday night game on September 5, which is labor day, at Big East opponent Rutgers. After games against Southeast Missouri State, Oregon State, and Fresno State, UC heads to Miami (OH) to play the Red Hawks. Cincinnati then enters Big East Conference play with match ups against USF, Louisville, Connecticut, Syracuse, and a Friday night game against West Virginia televised by ESPN2. Following a couple of weeks off, UC is scheduled to face off with Big Ten's Illinois at Nippert Stadium. The Bearcats conclude their season with an away game at Pittsburgh on December 5th.
The 2009 season brings just 3 home games against conference opponents and while UC will have 4 away games against Big East teams. Due to the number of teams in the Big East, teams alternate years with having 3 home games and 4 away games against conference teams, and visa versa. Head Coach Brian Kelly is not looking forward to only having 3 home games against Big East teams. The Big East is getting tougher and playing teams on the road just makes it that much harder. None the less, the Bearcats look to build on a solid 2008 season.
