Cincy opens as 10 point favorite

[CousinRicky]

Do they announce who the officials are before game time?  If it is that guy that seems to hate us, I would take Cinci. Otherwise I'm thinking the Bulls.

Well, we lost to Maryland by 7 on a 12 point spread. We lost to Whisky by 17 on a 33 point spread. We lost to ECU by 11 on a 14 point spread. and We beat Tulsa by 8 on a 1.5 point spread. I will throw out NC State as the outlier. Therefore, we've beaten the spread on average by 5.3 points, so best guess we lose by 7 or win by 3.

 

Probably not a good statistical calculator, but hey, that's what it seems like.

I missed the first half of Tulsa, and was getting ready for a wedding during the 2nd, so didn't get to see much of the D.  Did Cliett & Dunkley play?  I see Kendall Sawyer started,but don't have a sense for how he did (though I read somewhere else that he struggled).

USF is a lock. Play the money line if available.

Yes, Cliett and Dunkley already are practicing.

If Cliett and Dunkley are back I like us to cover. Amazing to think 3-4 weeks ago I would've guessed a 20+ point spread.

What was the spread for NC State, UConn, or WCU?

You must be thinking of McDaid and his crew. I dont think he hates us. I just think he loves being in the spot light. He calls so many penalties so he can get on TV. He is a freaking camera hog.

I wonder if their backup QB getting pinched for assault will be a distraction on the short week and move the line down. He played quite a bit in the SMU blowout and Tuberville will have to address this all week.

Didn't they practice last week, too?

Hm's keys to the game:

Turnovers. I believe we are about even in net takeaways per game. We have to win this battle

First downs. Cincy will score a lot and we need to keep up. It is proven that we can score if we're sustaining drives. The big play helps but the only way we keep up in this game is with slow and steady first downs = points and T.O.P. (rest for D#)

Complete game. Put both halves together!
