What happened
ESPN RECAPCincinnati beats Houston 38-31 for title share
CINCINNATI -- Gunner Kiel left the game unexpectedly. Munchie Legaux replaced him and kept the offense moving. A defense that grew up fast held on at the end. The Bearcats followed that script so often during the second half of the season -- all the way to a title celebration. Kiel for a pair of touchdowns before leaving with leg cramps, and Mike Boone ran for three touchdowns as Cincinnati held on for a 38-31 victory over Houston on Saturday that that clinched a share of the American Athletic Conference championship. Cincinnati (9-3, 7-1) finished in a three-way tie for the title. Memphis clinched part of the title last weekend, and Central Florida made it a split by beating East Carolina 32-30 on Thursday night. The Bearcats won their last seven games to earn a share of the title for the sixth time in the last eight seasons. Their previous ones came in the Big East.
