He has had stints at Appalachian State and, most recently, Louisville. During his 11-year career, Satterfield already sits in the middle of the Big 12 October rankings, placing fifth after compiling a 24-15 (.615) record.

Three-Game October Slate

The Bearcats have a road trip to BYU Friday (ESPN, 10:15) and are 2-point and -135 moneyline favorites at Caesars Sportsbook Ohio. After that, the Bearcats will prepare for a three-game October slate with a bye week in the first week.

Two home games await Cincinnati with first-ever meetings with Iowa State on Oct. 14 and Baylor on Oct. 21. A trip to Oklahoma State ends the month on Oct. 28. This will be the fourth meeting between the two schools, with the Cowboys holding a 2-1 edge but the teams haven’t met in 40 years.

As of Tuesday morning, BetMGM Ohio has Cincinnati at +10000 (tied with Oklahoma State) to win the Big 12 Championship this season. The Bearcats are also listed at +50000 to win the national championship.
