Tony Pike returned from an injury to his non-throwing arm and had a record day Friday, passing for six touchdowns in a 49-36 victory over Illinois that left fifth-ranked Cincinnati unbeaten and back to full strength.
The senior quarterback started for the first time since Oct. 15 and broke the school record for touchdown passes.
