CINCINNATI (AP) — JC French ran for three touchdowns and threw for another to lead Cincinnati to a 34-15 season-opening win over Boston College on Saturday.
It marked Cincinnati’s 25th straight win in a home opener — the second-longest streak in the country behind Oklahoma State’s 30.
French, who was making his first start since transferring from Georgia Southern, completed 10 of 14 passes for 77 yards and rushed for 52 yards on 10 carries.
“I thought JC played great,” Cincinnati coach Scott Satterfield said. “He made great decisions in the run game; was very efficient throwing the football.”
French said the rushing touchdowns more than made up for the lack of pass attempts.
