Season 2 Episode 4 - The Final Countdown
After a night of wrestling and snow cones, the Bearcats close the book on the 24th summer at Camp Higher Ground. Back in Cincinnati, the fall semester is underway, and the football buzz is starting to hit campus. It’s almost game week, and the Bearcats will need their fastest players to outrun 19th-ranked Arkansas.
Season 2 Episode 3 - Pressure & Diamonds
On campus, a newly renovated game day locker room is ready for its debut, but at Higher Ground, the Bearcats have reached the dog days of fall camp. On the defensive side of the ball, a pair of familiar faces join the assistant coaches in 2022: Cornerbacks coach/special teams coordinator Kerry Coombs and defensive line coach Walter Stewart.
A stellar crop of returning linemen anchors the offense while tight ends Josh Whyle and Leonard Taylor serve as a pair of big targets over the middle. But everyone has one question. Who will the quarterback be? With Game 1 less than three weeks away, Bearcats legend and new offensive coordinator Gino Guidugli is leaning on his experience under center to choose a starter.
Season 2 Episode 2 - Higher We Go
It's time for Camp Higher Ground, Year 24. As Bearcats football arrives at its summer home for the next two weeks, new leaders like WR Tre Tucker begin to emerge. On the first night of camp, Coach Fickell sets the season's mantra: Just Be Us.

The 2021 Bearcats accomplished the best season in program history. So, what comes next? The ability to be consistent––reload, not rebuild––separates a top-10 program from a top-10 team. They have the talent. They just need to be themselves.
Season One
Episode 7 - The Playoff
Cincinnati dared to dream and then worked to make it a reality. After a magical 13-0 season, LET IT FLY returns to take you behind the scenes as the Bearcats prepare for the Cotton Bowl and top-ranked Alabama.
Episode 6 - LET IT FLY
After nearly 250 days of anticipation, the Cincinnati Bearcats’ 2021 season has arrived. Nippert Stadium has been prepped, the infamous weekly uniform reveal is finished, and the student body has channeled their excitement into action by selling out the Ruckus. The stakes are clear. All that’s left is to Let It Fly.
Episode 5 - Clifton Style
With game week on the horizon it’s time for the Cincinnati Bearcats to get back to their routines. The team departs Camp Higher Ground, bound for Cincinnati, family, and school. Their environment has inspired another mantra: “Clifton Style.” It’s a gritty, never-say-die mentality that’s powered the Bearcats to 31 wins since 2018 and built towering expectations for 2021.
Episode 4 - High Tides
At the center of the Cincinnati Bearcats’ transformation from 4-8 to #8 are a series of individual decisions. Coach Fickell has remained committed to Cincinnati and players like Desmond Ridder and Coby Bryant chose to return to school and attend to unfinished business, building a legacy in the Queen City. Coach Fickell has turned this into a mantra: “High Tides Raise All Ships.” Individual excellence makes the program better, and nowhere does iron sharpen iron more than at Camp Higher Ground, Cincinnati’s training camp home since 1999.
Episode 3 - Higher Ground
It’s off to training camp for the Cincinnati Bearcats. In a secluded corner of Indiana, Camp Higher Ground offers everything the team needs: Space to focus and grow on the field, time to bond with each other, and separation from the chatter that comes with a top-10 ranking.
Episode 2 - Family
Football is family, and the Cincinnati Bearcats are no different. But within the program exists multiple families: Star QB Desmond Ridder is adjusting to life with a daughter, a tight-knit equipment staff toils away preparing for a trip to training camp at Higher Ground and the football team gives back to the community. Above it all, head coach Luke Fickell serves as a mentor to the Bearcats both on and off the field.
Episode 1 - The Offseason
The equipment trailer is getting a facelift and the offseason is upon us. Luke Fickell and his Cincinnati Bearcats are back to work, contending with a bitter end to the 2020 season and sky-high expectations for this fall.
