Satterfield Says Hough and Tyo Could Return Against Houston
Cincinnati coach Scott Satterfield said defensive tackle Josh Hough and center Taran Tyo could be available against Houston after missing time with injuries. The Bearcats are coming off a 49-25 loss to Utah.
Cincinnati is hoping to have two key players back on the field when it faces No. 17 Houston. Coach Scott Satterfield said on November 3 that defensive tackle Josh Hough and center Taran Tyo had both taken part in a walkthrough and could be ready to play this week. He said the team expected a clearer picture after practice on Wednesday.
The Bearcats were beaten 49-25 by No. 3 Utah. Backup center Grant Edgington filled in against the Utes, earning a 67.9 Pro Football Focus grade, the fourth-highest mark on Cincinnati’s offense. Satterfield said the team would assess how Hough and Tyo progressed over the next two days.
Cincinnati enters the Houston game with a 5-3 record. A victory would give the Bearcats a second win over an AP-ranked opponent this season, something they have not achieved since 2021. It could also damage Houston’s prospects in the Big 12 title race.
Satterfield said the team was concentrating on Houston rather than comparing this season’s late stretch with past Novembers. Cincinnati has three road games in its final four contests, and its matchup with Houston is scheduled to kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET on FOX.
