I just listened to their coach on the Big East calls: he expects a win. Period.  ::)

Fox's preview of Cincy

Cincy' Offense

Cincy's Defense

Okay, what are their weapons and weaknesses?

Any thoughts?

--------------

Here's how I see it:

They ran all over Louisville; Moore had 97 yards. This is the same Louisville team that did pretty well against Miami's running game.

I feel that we have to stop the run and make their QB beat us. Grutza is pretty good, but he will make mistakes.

Stopping the run may be a bit off a problem. See: Ray Rice.  We just got Joulmiste back and Clebert is healthy so that's an improvement, but I'm still a little worried.

If we do stop the run I assure you we'll have at least two Ints and the defense will get us  some points, but we'll see.

If we can't stop the run our offense will have to carry us, and I'm not as worried about that as I was last year.  Even if we can't stop the run I couldn't see them putting up more than 24 points, but we'll see.

We've got a shot either way.

Ray Rice is special.  Cincy has no one like him.

I remember UNC's touchdown drive.  UNC's running back ran through a couple of big holes, and they don't have anyone special (I know they didn't finish the game, but Cincy is better).

NC rushed for 168 yards total and their leading rusher had 57 yards.  Not exactly stellar.

we shut down UConn's run game and they like to run as much as we did last year.  2 games in a row good against the run, so it's looking better.

Their coach was the Ohio State defensive coordinator prior to joining Cincinnati 2 years ago.

With Ponton back, Matt shouldn't have to carry the offense. There's plenty of film on them so our coaches should be able to come up with something that will work.

----------------

I looked at their attendance and they have been averaging between 18,000-21,000 for the home games, even Pitt didn't bring out the fans.

This is good for USF.
