Cincinnati had a bye this week and we play at Cincinnati. This team hasn't won an away game yet. Unsure how to feel about this game.
Not sure road record is a good measure of potential success at Cincinnati.

One loss was to Ohio that has been analyzed at from every angle possible and seems to have led to a positive adjustment to the offense. The other loss was to a team hunting for a playoff bid.

I'm thinking Cincinnati might allow for a better measure of how this season could end with all the road games left.

It's an interesting matchup between our D and their QB. He is a gifted player who can make something out of nothing. He will likely frustrate us with scrambling on a few 2nd and 3rd and longs. He's also not accurate and struggles to throw it downfield. We could use a couple picks to flip the field. Really have to clean up the tackling.

Mobile QBs are our biggest kryptonite. That’s gonna be a big issue.

I’ve done a little looking at team stats…
passing - Jones and Rocco are three yards apart. Their stats are nearly identical all across the board.
Rushing - Cincy has a primary who is heads above everyone else on both teams. Ave 5.3 per for over 400 yds.
Receiving - ISU has spread the ball around more.
Scoring - they ave 9 more per game at 30

They've played one fewer game, so they're a little ahead of us on offense. They're hard to get a read on as they played OU tough at home a week after losing to Miami OH at home.

They're averaging the third most plays per game in college football, so I'd expect us to play a lot like we did last night.

I feel Cincy has really lost a ton to the portal and NFL draft the last season and a half.

Probably two evenly matched teams in terms of talent. If our run game is at all like yesterday, I like our chances.. O line, Rocco, and the RB's have confidence.

I do not think Cincy's skill players at WR and RB will be as good as TCU's, for that reason I like the defense's chances to play well.

Betting on college FB this year is like playing roulette. Wonder what the record for home team is this year. No b12 favored team won this week.
