Cincinnati's Brendan Sorsby Finds Xzavier Henderson for a 19-Yard TD vs. Houston
Sorsby's Second TD Pass Guides Bearcats to Victory
Cincinnati quarterback Brendan Sorsby connected with wide receiver Xzavier Henderson for a 19-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter of the Bearcats' 38-20 victory over Houston on Saturday. The touchdown reception was Henderson's first of the season and the second touchdown pass of the game for Sorsby.
Sorsby Continues to Impress in First Season as Starter
Sorsby, a redshirt sophomore, has been impressive in his first season as Cincinnati's starting quarterback. He has completed 65% of his passes for 1,200 yards and 10 touchdowns with just two interceptions. He has also rushed for 200 yards and two touchdowns.
Sorsby's performance has helped lead the Bearcats to a 3-1 record this season. They are currently ranked No. 25 in the AP Top 25 Poll.
Henderson Emerges as Sorsby's Favorite Target
Henderson, a redshirt junior, has emerged as Sorsby's favorite target in the passing game. He leads the Bearcats with 25 receptions for 350 yards and two touchdowns.
Henderson's ability to make plays down the field has been a key factor in Cincinnati's offensive success this season.
Bearcats Look to Continue Success in AAC Play
The Bearcats will look to continue their success when they open American Athletic Conference play next week against Temple. Cincinnati is a heavy favorite in the game, but they will need to be careful not to overlook the Owls.
Temple is 2-2 this season, but they have a talented team led by quarterback E.J. Warner, the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Kurt Warner.
