Cincinnati Enquirer:

Bearcats Meltdown Leads to Loss

University of Cincinnati Bearcats lost a winnable game against Pitt after having a 27-6 third-quarter lead. ...

 In an improbable comeback, Pitt won 28-27.

Though UC is now in the Big 12 and Pitt is in the ACC, the River City Rivalry had its moments. UC had a 17-6 lead at halftime that was 27-6 with 4:50 left in the third quarter. ...their biggest comeback since Oct. 9, 1971 when they were down 35-10 to Navy at halftime and won 36-35.

That sounds wrong. Maybe we had two remarkably similar. In 1970, I believe, we were down 35-8 to Couch Burn and won 36-35. I was THERE. I don't remember the Navy game.

The rest of this write-up is anodyne.
