CINCINNATI - The ESPN/DirecTV Drive To The National Championship bus rolled through Cincinnati Wednesday, making a stop on the University of Cincinnati campus for an interview with head football coach Brian Kelly.
The bus, which is a tour bus converted into a mobile TV studio, was parked on O'Varsity Way in front of the Richard E. Lindner Center for a couple of hours and coach Kelly took a break from his preparations for UC's game at Syracuse Saturday to tape an interview for College Football Live Wedneday afternoon.
The interview, with host Erik Kuselias, will air between 3:30 and 4 p.m. Wednesday on ESPN. Coach Kelly offered an updated on quarterback Tony Pike, and his thoughts on the latest rankings for the No. 5 Bearcats (7-0, 3-0 BIG EAST).
UC returns to the field Saturday, heading to the Carrier Dome to take on Syracuse. Kickoff is scheduled for noon in a game to be televised in HD by ESPNU.
