#5 Bearcats have too much in a scoring fest with the Illini, winning 49-36.

Tony Pike throws for 399 yards and 6 TDs as Cincinnati builds a 28-7 lead and then rides it through an exchange of scores. Mardy Gilyard catches 7 passes for 102 yards and 2 TDs, and adds a 90-yard KO return for a TD.

Illinois keeps the score close as Juice Williams throws for 3 TDs and runs for another. The Illini close to within 42-30 early in the 4th quarter, but Cincinnati answers with a 21-yard Pike-to-Gilyard TD pass.
