Cincinnati Bearcats @ UConn Huskies

We had to wait until things played out this weekend in the Big East to find out what time the UConn Huskies football team would take on the Cincinnati Bearcats next Saturday.

And now we know.

ESPN and the Big East announced that the game on Saturday, December 1st between the Huskies and Bearcats at Rentschler Field in East Hartford, CT will kickoff at 3:30 p.m. The game will be broadcast nationally on ABC.

The game has meaning for both teams.

For UConn, a win over Cincinnati makes them bowl-eligible.

For Cincinnati, they'll have to wait and see how the Louisville-Rutgers game plays out on Thursday night. If Louisville wins, then the Bearcats would need to win to grab a share of the Big East title and a possible BCS bid.
