OXFORD, Ohio - With its state-of-the-art passing attack stymied most of the day, No. 10 Cincinnati showed it can win the old-fashioned way, too.
Jacob Ramsey ran for 103 yards and three touchdowns in Cincinnati's pass-oriented offense Saturday, and the Bearcats broke open a close game in the fourth quarter for a 37-13 victory against Miami (Ohio).

The oldest rivalry west of the Allegheny Mountains has been a mismatch since Coach Brian Kelly showed up at Cincinnati and turned the Bearcats (5-0) into Big East champs. The Bearcats won their fourth straight against Miami (0-5) in front of the biggest crowd at Yager Stadium in six years.

Tony Pike had a so-so game, going 23 of 42 for 270 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. Ramsey became the first Bearcat to run for 100 yards since 2007 and the 15th in school history with three TDs in a game.
