DeVoine Newton would throw for two more touchdowns in the fourth to give the Bearcats a 33-12 victory.
It was a monster game for DeVoine Newton, he threw for 5 touchdowns and 427 yards on 15 completions. Jessethan Coffey had 6 catches for 83 yards and a touchdown. Ronnie Blankenship would have two catches for 71 yards and two scores.
