Still no ‘Nipp at night’ for Cincinnati Bearcats as Arizona announced as noon kickoff

For the fifth time this season, the Cincinnati Bearcats will have a daytime kickoff, and for the third time boot will meet ball at noon.
After the coming bye weekend, UC is back in action at Nippert Stadium against the Arizona Wildcats. Monday, Nov. 3, the game was announced as another “Nipp at noon” to be televised on FS1.
Cincinnati Bearcats at Nippert
The Bearcats are 5-0 at home, taking a pair of noon games from then-ranked Iowa State and UCF, a pair of 3:30 starts from Bowling Green and Northwestern State and a 4 p.m. start from Baylor Oct. 25.
UC is coming off a disappointing showing at Utah, where they lost 45-14 in a game that was the equivalent of a 10:15 p.m. start in the Eastern time zone. Now, they’ll entertain Arizona from the Mountain Time Zone, meaning the kickoff for those watching in Tucson will be 10 a.m.
Still no ‘Nipp at night’ for Cincinnati Bearcats fans
Though fans enjoy the night atmosphere and teams like Utah thrive in it, UC has not had a night home game this season. The previous two seasons, they have had but three. In 2023, UC lost to the Miami RedHawks in September and to Kansas in the November season finale. Last season, they didn’t have a home night affair until the snowy season-ender vs. TCU.
After Arizona, Big 12 leader BYU is scheduled to come Nov. 22. That could be an evening possibility, but the time has yet to be released by the Big 12 and could be determined by how each team fares. BYU is at Texas Tech this weekend for ESPN College GameDay. The regular season ends in Fort Worth against TCU Nov. 29 at a time to be determined.
Cincinnati Bearcats at night under Scott Satterfield
This season, in road night games, they are 1-2 with the Nebraska loss in Kansas City, a win at Oklahoma State and the Nov. 1 defeat in Utah.
In UC’s first Big 12 campaign in 2023, they had six night games, but just two at home. They won at Pitt, lost vs. Miami University, lost at BYU, lost at Oklahoma State, won at Houston and lost vs. Kansas. That’s 2-4 overall.
Last season, it was a loss at Texas Tech, a loss at Colorado, a loss at Iowa State, a loss at Kansas State and a loss vs. TCU to put them 0-5 under lights.
Despite the popularity of football under a darkened, fall sky, the Bearcats are just 3-11 with the moon in view the past three seasons.
What about Arizona?
The Wildcats are 5-3 after crushing Colorado 52-17 Nov. 1. They are 3-3 in the Big 12 with the win over the Buffaloes and victories in Tucson over Kansas State and Oklahoma State. They lost at Iowa State, at home to BYU in double overtime and at Houston.
UC and Arizona have never met in football.

Person accused of making terroristic threats to medical facility in northern Arizona
PAGE, AZ (AZFamily) — A person accused of making terroristic threats toward a northern Arizona medical facility was arrested Friday morning.
Just after 10:30 p.m., police received a report of a person calling the facility and threatening to kill staff and Native Americans, according to the Page Police Department.
Authorities said staff placed the facility on lockdown until officers identified the suspect and arrested them outside their home.
The suspect was booked on charges of disorderly conduct, threatening and intimidating, and making terroristic threats. Police have not publicly identified the person.
“The Page Police Department is grateful for and supports the medical staff’s decision to put the medical facility into lockdown until the suspect was arrested and the situation was rendered safe,” the department said in a Facebook post.

NFL mock draft: 4-round projections for Arizona Cardinals
In these four-round projections, the Arizona Cardinals don’t get a tackle until the fourth round.
We are just days away from the 2026 NFL draft, and that means some final mock drafts. What direction will the draft take the Arizona Cardinals?
Draft Wire’s Curt Popejoy put together a four-round mock draft for the Cardinals. They go defense early but rebuild the offense for 2026 and moving forward, including landing their potential franchise quarterback.
Cardinals 4-round mock draft
Here are the players in the first four rounds Popejoy projects for Arizona.
- Round 1: Ohio State EDGE/LB Arvell Reese
- Round 2: Alabama QB Ty Simpson
- Round 3: Clemson WR Antonio Williams
- Round 4: Florida OT Austin Barber
What we think of the picks
The Cardinals want to trade out of the third pick and draft a tackle, so not getting a tackle until Round 4 seems unlikely, although they did meet with Barber. They do have options at right tackle for 2026 already on the roster.
Reese would be a great pick if they don’t trade back, as they badly need pass-rushing help off the edge.
Drafting Simpson seems inevitable at this point, so it has to be in a mock draft, although the feeling is they will need to go up into Round 1 again to get him.
Williams has speed and is almost six feet tall, but he does have short arms.

Detroit Lions NFL Draft Injury Report: Arizona State CB Keith Abney
Due to significant injuries to the CB position last year which includes a shoulder surgery for Terrion Arnold, the Lions CB position scored a 6/10 need on my Lions Defensive Draft Need Rankings. Thus, an early-round selection of a young, healthy prospect like Keith Abney would not come as a surprise. He enters the draft with very low medical concern level.
Here is the excerpt from my medical report on Keith Abney:
(Ages in parentheses are at start of 2026 season and are factored into the concern level. Injury info and ages based on available public information are unverified and subject to update. Games played data courtesy of sports-reference.com.)
Keith Abney, CB (21) – Arizona State
Projected round 2-3. #43 on Jeff Risdon board Feb 19.
Concern level 0/10
There is an isolated report of a hand injury but no corroborating information. Even if the hand injury is true, that’s of minimal to no long-term concern.
His availability in his final two seasons has been perfect. Overall, Abney appears to be medically clean and is at an excellent age.
He finished college with 6 INT and 21 PBU.
