Cincinnati 37比24爆冷击败全美第八Texas Tech：JC French IV四记达阵传球创生涯新高，Texas Tech赛季首败
美国俄亥俄州 Cincinnati 市的 Nippert Stadium 10月24日上演大学橄榄球大冷门：主场作战的 Cincinnati Bearcats 以37比24击败全美排名第八的 Texas Tech Red Raiders，四分卫 JC French IV 传出生涯新高的四记达阵，跑卫 Cole Tabb 冲球173码同样创生涯新高。Texas Tech 战绩跌至6胜1负（Big 12 联盟3胜1负），遭遇自今年元旦大学橄榄球季后赛 Orange Bowl 四分之一决赛以来的首场失利，也未能实现2013年以来首次开季7胜0负。据路透社与美联社报道，这是 Cincinnati 自2006年11月18日主场30比11击败当时排名第七的 Rutgers 以来，近20年对排名球队的最大一场爆冷胜利，也是队史第四次击败全美前十球队。
比赛的转折出现在上半场最后8分钟。Texas Tech 靠两记任意球以6比3领先后，French 在第二节连传三记达阵：先是4码找到 Tabb 反超比分，随后5码连线 Malachi Henry，最后在上半场结束前5秒以2码传球找到紧端锋 Lyviel Waters——此前 MJ Cannon 的一次抄截加上 Tabb 51码的长冲球，为这次仅用27秒的75码推进铺路。Cincinnati 单节轰下21分，半场以24比6领先。
下半场 Texas Tech 一度看到反扑希望：第三节 Peyton Morgan 抄下 French 一记被碰偏的传球、回攻53码达阵，两分转换失败后分差缩小到24比15。但 Cincinnati 随即以9次进攻、80码推进回应，French 以17码传球找到 Larenzo Fenner 完成个人本场第四记达阵传球。第四节还剩6分06秒时，Tabb 冲出58码达阵，把比分拉开到37比18，锁定胜局——这也是 Texas Tech 本赛季被对手冲出的第一记冲球达阵。Cincinnati 全场冲球252码。
数据方面，French 全场30传19中、172码；Tabb 16次冲球173码，外加一次接球达阵。Texas Tech 四分卫 Will Hammond 37传24中、227码，被抄截一次并掉球一次；球队全场靠 Stone Harrington 的四记任意球支撑，直到终场前59秒 Quinten Joyner 3码冲球达阵，才拿到本场唯一一次进攻达阵。
Cincinnati Stuns No. 8 Texas Tech 37-24: JC French IV Throws Career-High Four TD Passes as Red Raiders Suffer First Loss
Nippert Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio, hosted a major college football upset on October 24 as the Cincinnati Bearcats beat No. 8 Texas Tech 37-24 behind a career-high four touchdown passes from quarterback JC French IV and a career-high 173 rushing yards from running back Cole Tabb. Texas Tech fell to 6-1 overall (3-1 in the Big 12), its first loss since the College Football Playoff quarterfinal at the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day, and failed to start 7-0 for the first time since 2013. According to Reuters and the Associated Press, it was Cincinnati's biggest win over a ranked opponent in nearly 20 years — since a 30-11 home win over No. 7 Rutgers on November 18, 2006 — and the fourth win over a top-10 team in school history.
The game turned in the final eight minutes of the first half. After Texas Tech took a 6-3 lead on two field goals, French threw three touchdown passes in the second quarter: a 4-yarder to Tabb for the lead, a 5-yarder to Malachi Henry, and, with five seconds left in the half, a 2-yarder to tight end Lyviel Waters, set up by an MJ Cannon interception and a 51-yard run by Tabb on a 75-yard drive that took just 27 seconds. Cincinnati scored 21 points in the quarter to lead 24-6 at halftime.
Texas Tech briefly threatened in the third quarter when Peyton Morgan intercepted a deflected French pass and returned it 53 yards for a touchdown, cutting the margin to 24-15 after a failed two-point try. Cincinnati answered with a nine-play, 80-yard drive capped by French's fourth touchdown pass, a 17-yarder to Larenzo Fenner. Tabb's 58-yard touchdown run with 6:06 remaining made it 37-18 and sealed the win; it was the first rushing touchdown Texas Tech had allowed all season. Cincinnati finished with 252 rushing yards.
French completed 19 of 30 passes for 172 yards, while Tabb carried 16 times for 173 yards and also caught a touchdown pass. Texas Tech quarterback Will Hammond went 24 of 37 for 227 yards with an interception and a lost fumble; the Red Raiders leaned on four field goals from Stone Harrington and did not score an offensive touchdown until Quinten Joyner's 3-yard run with 59 seconds left.
