Agreed. I think this will be the first test on the Bearcats pass defense. By no means do I think it is a tough test, but it should definitely be a good indicator of what to expect from them down the road. As you mentioned, they shouldn't have to worry as much about the deep ball, but we'll see how they do with the short/moderate passing situations.

Glad that we opened at Rutgers now....this means the guys have already been on the road in a hostile environment!!! Corvalis is a tough place to play for opposing teams but it's not like we've had two patsy home games and this is the first "big" game on the road......turns out the RU game could help us here as well!
