 UC signal caller Brendan Sorsby has been one of the country's best quarterbacks in a few ways through four games, but none more so than his ability to take care of the ball.

According to Bearcats play-by-play voice Dan Hoard, Sorsby leads the country by throwing 118 times so far this season without an interception. His next closest challenger is UTSA's Owen McCown (115 passes).

"We have a great punter in Mason Fletcher, so I know that if we don't get the first down, he's going to pin them deep," Sorsby said about his patience on Saturday. "There's no reason to be too aggressive and take a big risk with the football. You have to take what the defense gives you, live to play another down, and I feel good about everything."

Sorsby was elite on Saturday, posting a 96 ESPN QBR out of 100 during a three-touchdown performance. Plenty of preseason rankings had Sorsby slotted among the Big 12's worst quarterbacks, and those look completely wrong so far.

All in all, Sorsby ranks 19th nationally through four games with a 79 ESPN QBR. Cincinnati will win at least six games and play in a bowl if he keeps this up all season.
