Cincinnati at USF Game Preview

Why USF Will Win

The Bulls are getting the offense moving.

They might not be consistent, and the wins aren’t there, but the O was balanced in the 48-28 loss to East Carolina, the passing game showed a sign of life after a rough loss to Louisville, and it’s starting with an offensive line that’s not bad at keeping teams out of the backfield.

Cincinnati is having a slew of problems with penalties and it’s not controlling the clock. USF has to go against type a bit and grind the game down and keep the Bearcat O off the field.

However …

NFL Expert Picks, Week 5

Why Cincinnati Will Win

The USF offensive line hasn’t been that good. It’s been a plus compared to the rest of the team, but it’s hit-or-miss. On the other side, Cincinnati leads the nation in sacks and tackles for loss – it’s going to get behind the line.

The team is starting to step up its game a bit with the running game rolling against Tulsa and the passing attack cranking it up against Indiana. All of the pressure from the D is forcing turnovers, and the offense is taking advantage.

What’s Going To Happen

USF hasn’t played a true home game in almost a month with last week’s game against East Carolina moved because of the hurricane.

The try is there with the Bulls, but the production isn’t. The defense won’t come up with enough big stops in the first half, and the offense won’t generate the production it’ll need to on the ground.

Why USF Will Win

Can the USF running game get going? It rolled against The Citadel to open the season, struggled against Notre Dame, and in terms of effectiveness, it’s probably somewhere in the middle when it comes to its effectiveness.

It needs to add a bit of power to its quickness, and it has to be nearly perfect. The Bull offense might not be rocking and rolling yet, but it hasn’t turned the ball over and the team isn’t screwing up with a whole lot of penalties.

As good as Cincinnati is, it’s not the type of team that will to run away and hide with the game by hanging up 31 points in the first half – at least, it shouldn’t. USF has to hang around, hang around, hang around, and hope to capitalize on any mistakes the Bearcats might make. UC turned it over twice against Army, but …

CFN Experts Picks: NFL

Why Cincinnati Will Win

The fantastic Bearcat front seven stuffed the Army running game. The Knights managed just 182 yards with nothing working quite right to take control of the game. It’s going to take a balanced offense with a downfield passing game to give UC problems, and that’s not UCF.

The Bulls have no problems with its short-range passing game against The Citadel – the O was too busy running – but there wasn’t much happening against Notre Dame when the game got out of hand.

As long as Cincinnati can get on the board early, there won’t be any problems.

CFN Experts Picks: College Football

What’s Going To Happen

The Bearcats won’t have any issues. The USF run defense will struggle against an offense that got stuffed a bit too much by Army – that kept the 24-10 game low. Here comes the offensive balance in an easy UC win.
