Down for the count yesterday with this spring's version of an upper respiratory virus, I found the UC vs. ND game stored in my DVR and speed watched it. If you still have access to it I highly recommend enjoying it that way. Arguably, the most important regular season victory in program history and seeing the green clad fans watch in disbelief and hearing the roar of the Bearcat faithful on those scoring drives will always provide special memories.

My safe bet for '22 is 9-3 but it occurred to me yesterday, with the way Fickell's teams play, it's at least a possibility that this year's team could be even better. UC may be reaping the rewards of continuously improving recruiting classes and player development. Drives that came up empty last year because of the abysmal field goal percentage should provide points this year (and we witnessed how the Bengals benefitted from consistent field goal production in their playoff run).

Improbable I know, but not impossible to believe that the '22 team could be better by November than the '21 version.
