Good looking drive by Cincy to respond.

Don't forget they almost beat Georgia in the Peach last year. Think they'll put up a fight and keep it relatively close, but Bama's athletes will be too much in the end (kinda like our bowl).

I’m hoping for a shootout now…. looks like both defenses could be in trouble.

Obviously Bama has a ton of great recruits, but they generally develop and always show up too. The loss to Clemson in the championship game is the only time I recall them having a Texas like game

Yep…. unless Cinci figures something out on defense, dis is going to be ugly.

BUT, I’m glad that a G5 team is getting a shot at least. If they fall flat on their face and get stomped, then don’t expect to see another G5 ever get a shot unless the playoff expands.
Lol, yeah, because some of those other teams like Florida State, Washington, and Michigan State were so much more competitive. Or how about the Oklahoma and Ohio State teams that got boatraced by 4 or 5 touchdowns?

I don't think this game will be close unfortunately.
The only people that thought it would be are the ones that want to point to last year’s Cincinnati Georgia game. Nevermind that this Bama team would murder last years Georgia team.

0-38 still stings I’m sure.
That’s what happens when bad invites are made imo
Wasn’t a bad invite but that bama team had an insane front 7 that we couldn’t even come close to matching. Kept it close in the first half but got obliterated in the second.

Oof, that was a bad one. At least this Cincinnati team is better than that MSU team.
Disagree with that mainly because that bama team was insane but at least they weren’t shut out like we were. Bama is just a different animal then any other team.

It was. Michigan St is one of those programs in which they need to do more than others would to get in imo. Take a two loss SEC team over MSU. Some fake ID to that program like those in the Big 10 West.
