The matchup is scheduled for a 3:30 p.m. Eastern kickoff at TDECU Stadium in Houston, with national television coverage on FOX.
For Cincinnati, the road contest represents another opportunity to improve its position in the conference during the closing weeks of the regular season.

Saturday’s contest is Cincinnati’s third game of the season selected for national television on FOX.
For both programs, the matchup provides an opportunity to make a statement within the Big 12 before the regular season concludes.
