The Cincinnati Bearcats beat the Miami RedHawks 35-31 at TQL Stadium in the Battle for the Victory Bell, but the most talked-about play happened after the final buzzer. Bearcats defensive lineman Marquaze Parker and offensive lineman Joe Cotton made an unforgettable move, literally dropping the Victory Bell as they tried to carry it.
Miami actually had a costly fumble in the final minute of the game, setting up that narrow 35-31 loss. The RedHawks couldn’t hold onto the ball when it mattered most. The Bearcats took the win, and everything seemed to be going their way.
However, after the game, Parker and Cotton tried to carry the massive Victory Bell. It came right off its stand, slammed into a table, and then tumbled onto the grass. Video of the whole thing exploded online, with plenty of folks sharing the wild scene. Good news, though: the source says everything is okay with the bell. Looks like it can take a hit, much like the Bearcats took that win. It was a post-game fumble for the ages, but luckily, this one didn’t cost them a victory.
