It is UC's most all-conference awards since 2009 when the Bearcats had 11, the first time a UC player has won the league's rookie honor and the fifth time a UC coach has earned coach of the year honors, first in the American.

Congratulations to all--proud moment for players, coaches and Bearcat fans everywhere. The future appears to be very bright for UC football.

Dino Boyd has been a fantastic grad transfer for us. Would love to find another FCS grad transfer like him for next year if possible.

What a ride for Dino Boyd. His teams at Rhode Island won a combined 7 games in the 4 years he was there... He transferred up to the FBS, won 10 games and was a All-AAC Tackle. Good for him.

I noticed that a lot of Warren's big runs were behind him. TE's did a good job blacking also.

Congrats to the team and coaching staff! Future is bright.

Absolutely incredible and well-deserved honors!

All you Ben Bryant fans may have to temper your enthusiasm. Ridder recognized as Rookie of the Year is no small matter. The dude is going to get better and better with more game experience.
