Cincinnatti

[Rizman]

Played the following teams:

Tenn-Martin won 28-7

Purdue won 38-20

Houston loss 40-16

Miami Ohio won 27-20   (However, it was close they almost lost it.  Miami of Ohio should have won that game)

Perspective based on the game I saw.  Office looks ok at times.  Seems to sputter.   Defense was very poor in the game Miami Ohio until the end. 

Home game, and they did not like the result last year.  They are going to be geared up.   USF struggles versus Cincy especially on the road.  

Looking for a big bounce back after Saturday's performance.

Nippert has been our house of horrors.  Hopefully this team is focused and mature enough to not allow a hangover from the FSU game.

Need to show up for this one.  The Bearcats have beaten us more than any program.  I think we are something like 5-8 against them.

I think this will be an incredibly interesting game.

**Cincinnati** tends to play Miami of Ohio relatively close (oldest non-conference rivalry in the country) and tends to pull away towards the end, but Ross Trail (redshirt freshman) had his first start ever in that game, so the onslaught just never came late into the game. Miami also had more yards offensively in every one of their losses except UC so far (including against Iowa, who was ranked 17 at the time, so they are certainly not having much trouble moving the ball against anyone, just not able to score/outscore teams at this point. 

A lot will depend on who starts at QB for UC and how both defenses play. UC has had some shut down defense at times (first 3.5 quarters against Houston, holding them to 12 points) and looks completely clueless at times.

I think this may legitimately be the 2nd and 3rd best teams in the AAC playing each other for a spot in the conference championship game, so this one ought to be a great game (hopefully).

I graduated from both schools and will be in attendance and am really looking forward to this one. I believe Cincy is expecting around 40,000 (near sell out at Nippert) for a nationally televised Saturday night game.. if USF can come out on top I like our chances playing most anywhere else in the country as this will be the toughest away game all season.

If we lose to Cincy, the wheels have officially come off the bus again.

We are 1-5 at Cincy.

So long as the team doesn't let the FSU loss linger, we got this.

D-line, Stay away from the chili this time!

Men's soccer and Women's Vollyball will be at Cincy this weekend.  I hope the Women stay and come to the game to root USF Football on.

QB Hayden Moore is expected to return for UC this week.
