It is a lot easier to "take care of business" when you are playing Temple and sadly, USF than if you are playing Baylor, Purdue, Penn State, etc.
It's a lot easier to stay hungry the entire game when you are playing those teams too. Uc jumps usf 31-7. The game was an ass kicking despite some mistakes that let usf make it seem closer than it was. I'm betting Uc's post game win expectancy is going to be close to 100% when sp+ posts it (which is basically what it has been after every game all year).
I am just sick of the Cincinnati "struggled" narrative. We haven't had a post game win expectancy below 87% & nearly all are 98%+. They jumped out 31-7. This game was never in doubt despite a few mistakes on third and long, a goalline fail resulting in "only" a 17pt road win.
No kidding. Playing a soon to be 2-8 team in front of 100’s of rabid fans in a cruddy rented NFL stadium. What’s not to be pumped up for for the entire 60 minutes?
Cant say I’ll miss ever having to play there again.

Good game USF! I like your qb. He has good pocket presence.

For a freshmen he is doing well. He still needs improvement but even in this year you can see the growth from beginning of season. I think offense wise we have a good nucleus returning, so if we can get the defense to go from horrific yo average next year, then our record will be much better next year.

Last TD was 4-5 of the worst weak arm tackle fails by defenders I’ve ever seen. Those guys didn’t want to hit anyone. Great attribute for a defense.

Convenient how he picked the two worst teams in the AAC and “randomly” selected those three teams to compare to instead of Kansas, Northwestern, Arizona, etc.
He’s a troll.

Sagarin says Cincy has played the #96 schedule in the country. And it will be worse once the USF game is factored in. That's just how it is.
Cincy isn't facing any competition worthy of playoff consideration. Right now, I'm watching Oklahoma play Baylor, and Michigan play Penn State. We aren't quite in that same category.

And Cincinnati would be favored against 3 of those 4 teams for sure and I've seen odds on UC / Oklahoma range from both teams being slight favorites (so they could be favored against all 4). You may not be in that category. Cincinnati definitively is.

RE: ***Official Cincinnati @ South Florida Game Thread***
I watched Ohio State yesterday and came away impressed with their offense. It is evident that the three receivers are for real and can score on anyone. However, does the eye test take into account the ease that Purdue moved the ball all game long. The same can be said about the other teams. No one team has all the tools. The eye test is faulty. If this were the test back in 2002, Ohio State would not have had the opportunity to play in the championship game. They had many close wins because like Cincinnati, they played Tressel ball. You play to win the games not put up gaudy statistics.

Quo, needs to stick to the realignment board of playing Risk with moving teams from one conference to another. His general football knowledge is sorely lacking.
