Cade Wolford's Growing Role

Cade Wolford has settled into a growing role for Cincinnati football as he gets ready for a familiar opponent this week.

First Battle for the Victory Bell

The Bearcats slot receiver and punt returner popped up on the stat sheet more last Saturday, and he can't wait to play in his first Battle for the Victory Bell inside the grass confines of TQL Stadium this week.

Grass Field Experience

TQL Stadium has never hosted a football game, but the grass should be top-notch quality.

Grass Field Preferences

I played at Tennessee. I played at Oklahoma. Some other bigger schools down south that have very well-kept grass fields.

Grass Field Enjoyment

I think it just kind of depends on, like, the specific field. I mean, there's obviously better or worse grass fields ... I honestly really like grass. I don't know if I necessarily prefer it over turf or not, but it's very close. Like, it is a different surface, but I enjoy playing on grass, especially when it's well kept. Like Tennessee and Oklahoma, those fields were beautiful. Really enjoyed playing on them. Yeah, I'm excited to see what this one was like.

Nippert Stadium Atmosphere

The Nippert Stadium atmosphere has been a revelation for him coming down from Kent State in the offseason.

Nippert Stadium Experience

It's been incredible, man. I mean, specifically the atmosphere is pretty unlike anything I've experienced for a home game.
