No Respect and loving it!

I don't think that we are sneaking up on anyone now. they all know what we can do now that we are running the ball effectively.  Cinci will be ready.  The question is will we be able to stop their qb?

I think the sneaking up statement is a little old.  We weren't sneaking up on anyone this year.  We didn't sneak up on UAB, maybe they were in a funk, but we didn't sneak up on them.  Everyone knew who we were, and how last year we were only 6pts away from being a 9-2 ball club.  When we beat TCU, we didn't sneak up on them.  USM didn't sneak up on us.  I don't think you can ever say a conference foe 'snuck up' on you.

It's no suprise that around the UAB game our team was starting to get healthier, and that was when we turned things around.  Also, you could see the defense slowly responding to coaching.  I don't think it was until the Army game that Hall really got on track.  You saw glimpses of greatness before that, but he was still learning the offense.  Also, Hall's infectious energy and confidence is definitely starting to rub off on the other offensive players.  

Oh, and its also nice to have the TE's starting to play, and get healthy.

All in all Leavitt teams have been notoriously slow starters.  This Cinci games going to come down to getting pressure and throwing off Guiduli.  Their running game is solid but nothing to scheme about, we must slow down their passing game, and protect our QB while giving Hall a running lane.  Whoever wins the LOS.
