GREENVILLE, N.C. (AP) — Desmond Ridder threw two touchdown passes and No. 4 Cincinnati completed a perfect regular season by beating East Carolina 35-13.
The Bearcats are trying to become the first team outside of a Power Five conference to compete in the four-team CFP.
Defense and special teams played a big part in this one. Arquon Bush blocked a field goal and Ahmad Gardner returned the ball 60 yards for a fourth-quarter touchdown.
East Carolina had a four-game winning streak snapped.
