The PFF grades are in from Cincinnati's 24-14 Homecoming win over Arizona State. We'll start on the defensive side of the ball, which powered another win on Saturday.

Jake Golday (82 overall) continued his strong run this season as the top defensive player followed by Eric Phillips (79.6), Antwan Peek Jr. (79.3), Jordan Young (71.9), and Kameron Wilson (69.4).

All in all, 12 different Bearcats defenders posted at least a 60 overall grade in the game. Phillips and Golday did enough to earn a spot on PFF's Big 12 Team of the Week.

At the bottom of the list, Cincinnati had Cameron Roetherford (51.6), Logan Wilson (54.2), and Ormanie Arnold (54.9) bringing up the rear.

On offense, Evan Pryor was the top-graded player (75.4), followed by Brendan Sorsby (73.9), Deondre Buford (71.3), Sterling Berkhalter (69.2), and Corey Kiner (69). It was by far Buford's highest-graded game of the season.

Cincinnati had 15 players earn at least a 60 overall grade, while Tony Johnson (57.1), Barry Jackson Jr. (54.1), and Francis Sherman (52) checked in at the bottom.
