Coach Quinn Interview | Ring Ceremony Video

CINCINNATI - The University of Cincinnati football team moved closer to the end of spring practice with a two-hour workout, it's 14th of the spring session, under sunny skies Thursday at Nippert Stadium.

Practice got underway with the field goal units getting some work in before all players moved into individual position drills. After some work on the punting game, the team closed out practice with 7-on-7, offensive and defensive drills, and a brief 11-on-11 session.

Offensive coordinator Jeff Quinn spoke with GoBEARCATS.com following practice to discuss the progress of UC's offensive line through the spring season. See the entire interview HERE.

Friday, the football staff plays host to the Jim Kelly Sr. Golf Classic to kick off alumni weekend. The annual event, honoring the memory of former UC legend Jim Kelly Sr. will take place at Elks Run Golf Club in Batavia, Ohio.

Bearcat Bowl III is set for a 7 p.m. start, Saturday in Nippert Stadium.

Members of the team received their 2008 BIG EAST Championship rings in a private ceremony Thursday night in the Richard E. Lindner Center. View highlights from the ring ceremony HERE.
