The big things will take care of themselves for us. But the little things add up and they will be huge in this game:

(1) Special teams: we have to be solid. Kickoffs cannot give Cincy the ball at the 40-yard line! And we have to make field goals.

(2) Receivers have to not get penalized for bad blocks and they have to catch the ball.

(3) Defend the deep ball and the middle. The middle has been wide open at times this year.

 

GO BULLS!

I would also add ball control. We need long sustaining drives to keep Cincy offense off the field. We did this really well for one half against Memphis. Of course the only problem is that Cinncy's defense is weak and will probably give up some big plays (especially on the ground).

Scoring is always better than ball control.  Ball control with scoring at the end is ideal, but if we score on most possessions, we win.

Our D-Line needs to be in attack mode the entire game and pressure Kiel into bad passes.

I'm okay with them having the edge in TOP if we have the edge in scoring.

I feel like this is a key.  91 getting another INT would be nice too :P

Lee had an interception? When? Are you thinking of #9 Hill? 

I thought he went airborne and snatched one out of the sky. I have no way of proving that though.

Ah you are right!  I got my 9s confused.
