Cincinnati vs Miami University Game Preview

Why Miami University Will Win

The RedHawks have the run defense to make this interesting.

The secondary has had its problems, but the run D has allowed just 1.7 yards per carry and 90 yards in all. Stuffing Robert Morris was expected, but it also held down Kentucky.

Cincinnati is getting the passing attack going, but it’s the ground game that took over against Kennesaw State and did a decent job of keeping up against Arkansas.

The Bearcats are struggling defensively on third downs, the 20 penalties are way too many, and they’re not controlling the clock. But …

CFN Expert Picks, Week 3

Why Cincinnati Will Win

The passing game worked great against Arkansas, and Ben Bryant was razor-sharp last week against Kennesaw State.

The Bearcats will try to run, but they’ll have way too much success moving the chains through the air.

Miami University might be doing a good job on the defensive front, but it’s giving up too many completed passes – Kentucky’s Will Levis had no problems.

Combine that with MU’s problems on special team and the lack of a downfield passing game, and …

What’s Going To Happen

The Bearcats will once again take down the rival.

15 straight going back to 2005. That’s what it has been for Cincinnati over Miami University, and it’ll be 16 in a row with a good day from the passing game and a +2 turnover margin to pull away.

All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Cincinnati (0-0) vs Miami University (0-0) Game Preview


Why Miami University Will Win

Miami has a decent passing game that should at least keep pressing the Cincinnati secondary.

The receiving corps can get deep, there are plenty of options to move the work around, and the veteran quarterbacks are in place – the RedHawks split the duties last year between Brett Gabbert and AJ Mayer – who aren’t going to be fazed by the moment.

If the offense can be just okay and capitalize on its chances, the defense should be able to keep the team in the game. Ten starters return, there’s good depth to work with, and the linebackers should be able to keep UC QB Desmond Ridder from doing much on the move.

Week 1 College Football Expert Picks

Why Cincinnati Will Win

Ridder and the offense will be fine. The O will pound, the passing game will be efficient, and the goal will be to not screw things up so the defense can win the game.

Basically, Cincinnati will have Miami’s style for this, but it’ll do it a whole lot better.

The RedHawks might be great defensively, but UC gets enough talent back for new defensive coordinator Marcus Freeman to turn loose. There might be a slew of key replacements to make, but the Bearcats will attack from the start against a MU offensive line that won’t hold up.

What’s Going To Happen

2005. That’s the list time Miami University was able to pull off a win in the rivalry, losing 14 straight in the series since then.

The RedHawks always bring the effort, and the games over the last decade-plus have been close more often than not, but this Cincinnati team is different.

Forget the lofty ranking for a moment – Cincinnati still has a whole lot of work to do on both sides of the ball and might not be razor-sharp, but it’ll be physical.

The RedHawks just won’t be able to score enough. Cincinnati will need a little while to pull away for good, but there won’t be a whole lot of drama in the second half.
