- UC tackling has been much improved in the season's first two weeks, a point of emphasis after the past two 4-8 seasons that included missed tackles on seemingly every series.

Redshirt freshman Ridder made his first college start at quarterback for UC, after leading the Bearcats to a 26-17 upset of UCLA last week.

At running back, Warren got the start again. Warren rushed for 142 yards and three TDs last week but also hurt his knee during the game. Warren was not expected to be 100 percent tonight, but he again will shoulder the load.

- UC and Miami players finished their warm-ups amid heavy rain. The crowd was sparse during warm-ups but the lower bowl started to fill in, with a 100 percent chance of rain forecast for most of the game.

There is a relatively large turnout of UC students in one end zone. Some fans are toughing it out in the lower decks, but many also are huddled in the few covered areas in the lower bowl of the stadium.

- UC and Miami were set for a soaker, with heavy rain expected all night. Torrential rain fell most of the day in the Cincinnati area Saturday, with several rounds of heavy showers expected to dump nearly half a foot of rain on the Ohio Valley region through Sunday night. The rain is largely due to the remnants of Tropical Storm Gordon, according to the National Weather Service in Wilmington.

- The series dates to 1888 and is billed as the longest-lasting Division I college football rivalry west of the Allegheny Mountains.

The schools have met each year since 1945, and Miami entered Saturday leading the series 59-56-7.

- UC entered the game as a 1 1/2-point underdog, according to Las Vegas lines. The Bearcats upset UCLA 26-17 at the Rose Bowl last week, while Miami lost 35-28 at home to Marshall.
