A Serious Look at Cincinnati

[JoeB]

Here are the offensive numbers from the Bearcats.  Very impressive indeed.

QB-  Ben Mauk  123/194 for 1595 yards, 63%, 8.2 yards per attempt, 15 TDs/ 5 Ints.

RB-  Butler Benton  89/434, 4.9 yards per carry, 2 TDs

      Greg Moore  55/328, 6.0 yards per carry, 2 TDs

      Jacob Ramsey  46/236,  5.1 yards per carry, 3 TDs

      Bradley Glatthaar 38/96,  2.5 yards per carry, 6 TDs (obviously their short yardage back)

WR-  Marcus Bennett  36/496,  13.8 yards per catch, 8 TDs

        Dominick Goodman  37/449,  12.1 yards per catch, 4 TDs

        Marshawn Gilyard  32/425,  13.3 yards per catch, 3 TDs

FG-  32/34 XP,  7/12 FGs (only 1/4 outside of 40 yards)

They are averaging 23 points per game in the Big East part of their schedule.  The games prior to these were totally different as the Bearcats blew everybody out that they faced.  This will be a tough test for the Bulls.  Sounds like UC likes to control the ball with the short passing game and strong running game by committee.  The key once again will be for our Defense to get off the field.  Third Down conversions will be the key.  Need to limit the Bearcats under 33% in 3rd Down Attempts.

Go Bulls!!

The offense putting together sustained drives that result in points will also be a key for this game.  No penalties, dropped passes, unnecessarily large sacks, and absolutely NO GETTING CUTE with the goalline playcalling!  Please just punch in the mutha #^&@*!$ ball!

I am fully expecting an interesting game...  I am hoping the home crowd can get things amped up.

[JoeB]

It will be a close game for sure.  Hopefully we'll jump on them early like every other home game this year.

I hear you STAP IT UP, LINE UP, AND RUN THE ****** BALL UP THE MIDDLE

Running the ball up the middle is overrated.  It's all about a high risk/high reward play that ends up putting you in a difficult long 4th down situation.

[Bulls Are We]

RB-  Butler Benton  89/434, 4.9 yards per carry, 2 TDs

      Greg Moore  55/328, 6.0 yards per carry, 2 TDs

      Jacob Ramsey  46/236,  5.1 yards per carry, 3 TDs

      Bradley Glatthaar 38/96,  2.5 yards per carry, 6 TDs (obviously their short yardage back)

Which one of these guys will be the third consecutive back to rush for 100+ against our D? 

[JoeB]

We won't give up a 100 yard rusher this week in my opinion, unless someone breaks a 40 yarder or so.  Most likely, they'll have over 100 with combined runners, but I don't see any of these guys getting 100 on us this week.

[BigShoop]

Cincy is a mirror image of USF.

Seriously.

[TRUTH D. Antagonist]

Cincy is a mirror image of USF.

Seriously.

except for the fact that Ben Mauk is a superior passer.  Grothe is clearly better with his legs.

Grothe's mobility is a pretty significant difference.

altho Mauk hasn't faced the same caliber defenses we have.  Cinci has played 1 ranked opponent, we've played 3, including Auburn, WVU and UConn... as well as Rutgers.  the only defense they've played that's worth anything is Rutgers.... maybe Pitt.
