The 6 TDs set an FBS record for a QB making his college football debut. The Cincinnati Bearcats won the game 58-34.
Kiel was the No. 1 ranked QB prospect in the nation in 2012. He initially committed to Indiana and then LSU before choosing Notre Dame. He spent all of 2012 in Notre Dame, the year the team went to the BCS National Championship, as the backup to Everett Golson.
In 2013 Kiel went to Cincinnati where he sat as a redshirt freshman.
