Benjamin Diaz's first stint as the coach of the Cincinnati Bearcats ends in a win, not only was it a win, but it was also an upset.
The Arizona State Sundevils came into the game with a confidence about them, a swagger that said they couldn't be beat, but they did not expect the Bearcats DEFENSE to be the reason they would have to worry.

Right after the kickoff the Bearcats could not stop the No Huddle offense of the Sun Devils, they were already in the red zone when the Quarterback made a mistake and threw a pick. This was just the first of this Quarterbacks mistakes, he eventually got benched and who was subbed in was surprisingly really better. Ben Diaz said "I didn't like how our offense was until the end of the 2nd Quarter, we had the ball with 40 seconds left and ended the drive with a Touchdown. What more can you ask for?"

Fast forward to the end of halftime, something must've happened inside the locker room because once DJ Woods received the kick BOOM! He was off to the races!!

We interviewed Brandon Mills who had an impressive day today posting up 10 tackles and 4 sacks here is an excerpt from the interview
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: How close was this game actually? The score shows blowout, but how was it in the trenches?
A: "Right now I just feel relieved, relieved we won our first game of the season. It was a hard fought game and I got in and made a few plays and did my job. We as a team did our Job."
Q: Did you even know you recorded 4 sacks in that game? That's amazing!
A: "No I didn't, I just kept going and going. I never really focus on how many tackles I'm getting or how many sacks, I focus on producing just like my Coach wants me to."

The Bearcats start off the season with an impressive win, and only time will tell if it was just a fluke, or if it was the making of something bigger.
