UC cheerleaders waive flags with the Big 12 logo during a football game against Murray State on Sept. 11, 2021, at Nippert Stadium. UC officially joins the league on July 1.

The No. 23-ranked Cincinnati Bearcats football team travels to Fayetteville to play No. 19-ranked Arkansas in one of a handful of matchups between top 25-teams during Week 1 of the college football season.

The Bearcats haven't named a replacement to one of the program's greatest players, quarterback Desmond Ridder. He was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in the spring, but whoever will start for UC will do so against an up-and-coming SEC team in the Razorbacks.
