That's coaching change and retention. For G5 schools that's also a bit of level of competition.

It's a brief stat shown to prop up the team that's playing. I love advanced analytics but wins and losses are still gospel in sports. it's why we play the game in the first play. Every now and then you have to appreciate that.

Lol. What? Nobody is arguing uc is a better program than say ohio state because we have more wins since 2020. The point is we've done a ton of winning over the span and maybe... just maybe.... fickell knows what he is doing.

Make a snarky comment. Get one in return.

Got even with ECU and Navy and now ahead of Tulsa who we hopefully never play again. Good riddance!

TUCKERMAN: On Playoffs At Nippert
November 20, 2022

Spencer Tuckerman

When the Bearcats set out for the season back at Camp Higher Ground three months and 60 degrees ago, the mission was as simple as it's ever been: Compete for a championship. The Bearcats had the talent, and, despite not being picked to win the conference in the preseason, we figured if things clicked into place, they'd be in a position to do just that.

274/433 (63%) for 3406 yards and 26 TDs with 8 INTs

Knowing that Temple is coming up and the ECU's defense has been below average against the pass, my guess is that pace will be adjusted up, but...

274 completions would rank 1st all time at UC for a season
3406 yards would rank 2nd all time at UC for a season
26 TDs would rank 5th all time at UC for a season

The illusion that Bryant is a sub-par QB is just not correct in so many ways. The problem is, and will continue to be, the OL's inability to protect him and block effectively for the run. He has consistently received pressure from his blind side and up the middle, which are the absolute worst places for a pocket passer to get pressure...and part of that is due to our all-everything center going down with an injury four days before the season started. If Renfro was in there, my guess is we would have a far different tone about Ben (and the season as a whole), but unfortunately we can't play the 'if, then' game now.

I do understand why some might look at that paragraph and say "but Prater would be able to avoid that pressure" and my immediate response would be that those passing numbers wouldn't be anywhere close to what they are now with the switch. We are in a position where we have a very solid QB who has led the team to a 7-2 (4-1) record and has put the team in a position to win a league championship. Only the most "optimistic" among us looked at this roster after the losses we absorbed to the NFL and thought we would be in a position to make the CFP. We are right where this roster should be right now, and my hope is that Prater takes this season to really work on areas where he definitely needs to based on what I have seen personally and what others have told me consistently throughout the past three years about his game.

The more interesting thing is going to be when people start looking at Brady Drogosh's tape and realize that he is basically an Evan Prater clone without the wonky throwing motion and the 513 area code.

I remember watching some videos of Drogosh in action when he first committed. Right away it was apparent to me he was just on a different level with his size, speed, athleticism and ability to throw the ball. Guys with all of his tools from the Midwest usually wind up at Notre Dame or certain B10 schools. I think UC fans are going to be extremely happy with Mr. Drogosh.

Agreed. I can't believe we got him assuming he signs. Looks almost like 5 star talent to me.

Brady Drogosh was just upgraded to the #49 overall recruit and #5 QB in the country by On3 and is now a composite 4* and our highest rated recruit on 247 prior to their own re-evaluation coming at the end of the football season.


RE: 2022 Bearcats Football Season Thread - CliftonAve - 11-23-2022 08:36 AM

Drogosh's rise in recruiting rankings has been remarkable. He was not ranked prior to April 2022 to now being a .9024 (4-stars). In between those 7-months his evaluation changed 9 times.

Strange that his offers are not very impressive? Best are perennial B12 and B10 bottom feeders. Let us a biggie does not swoop in.

I think that has as much to do with him committing and essentially shutting it down completely than anything. He committed very early in the process, even before the Elite 11 camps. There was some concern that Michigan may be sniffing around, but it seems like they've decided to forego a QB in this class now.

Since the AAC determines who goes to which bowl, unless UC or UCF get the NY6 bid expect the AAC to try to screw UC, UCF and UH on the way out the door.

I'm pretty sure there would be nothing but bad options, so it wouldn't be hard for them to do that lol.

Eh I have a lot of belief ESPN may have final say when discussing bowl slots for teams with conferences since these bowls are so dependent on TV ratings. Liberty Bowl vs a future Big 12 team seems a good possibility for UCF or UC to me.

Just my 2 cents but screw that I want the Cotton Bowl. One game at a time. Nippert will be rocking Friday!

Thank you. Deciding shortly!


RE: 2022 Bearcats Football Season Thread - eroc - 11-25-2022 03:55 PM

This game was a failure of the coaching staff as much as anything else. They knew what Prater's passing ability is and kept him at QB2. They needed to prep the team for when he was took on the role of QB1. Yes, they did some different things but they didn't do him any favors when it came to the passing game.

Having him drop back on passing plays was ridiculous. He showed that he was a better passer on the run and that he was a lousy decision-maker. MOVE THE EFFING POCKET and MAKE THE DECISIONS FOR HIM. in that last possession, they kept him in the pocket and the Tulane rushers were allowed to tee off on him.

We aren't a passing team with Prater at QB1, we're a running team. Any snaps that required Prater to drop back were complete wastes.

The OL is poor and is need of a revamp as much as any other unit on our team.

Finally, how is it that Hicks and Bush seem to be the worst players in our secondary?

Honestly, in advance of this season i wouldn't have been able to handicap the RB race between McCelland, Montgomery, and Kiner. That said, it did appear pretty clear, over the past couple of games, that Montgomery should be the bell cow at RB. i can understand giving him a break for a series after punt returns, but we got so little out of our RB game all season. it's ludicrous.

Hate to say it but the staff was bad all year. From the decisions at RB, OL play, TE usage, D(especially secondary)... Just fel like our guys were winning in spite of the staff and not being put in position to win
