Cincinnati 24, Notre Dame 13

The Bearcats went into Notre Dame Stadium and made a strong case to be among the discussion of national title contenders with a win over the Irish.

The No. 7 Bearcats had 297 yards and two touchdowns from quarterback Desmond Ritter and the Cincinnati defense created three Irish turnovers. The Irish had all three of its quarterbacks in play, but the trio of Jack Coan, Tyler Buchner and Drew Pyne completed just 23 of 46 passes for 257 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Kyren Williams had a rushing touchdown for Notre Dame, which suffers its first loss of the season.

Harrison Mevis was again sharp for the Tigers, hitting his only field goal chance from 43 yards and hit all three of his extra point tries.

The Cardinals earned its second win of the season with a solid home win over the Black Knights.
