The American with four ranked teams and with SMU's loss, Cincinnati has the in-side track on the home game for the conf. championship. Keep the winning, get the trophy and they're playing on News Years Day.
The offensive line in my estimation is a problem. Nothing is going to change there now but they need to put the recruiting focus on that group.This might be the worst offense ever for a 9-1 team, but who cares at this point. Decent chance they get the ABC night game next week vs Temple. Fun season.

Funny re. Snap count. Did he jump again last night? Glad to hear they have some talent coming in.I agree; but they actually have done a credible job considering the line is new this year with the exception of the RG. I think if they called out the snap count in German, if might reduce the penalties. The good news is the OL 2020 recruiting class is considered very good by Cincinnati standards.

Agreed. These innumerable PI calls have definitely taken away from the enjoyment of the game. It seems that when the ball goes in the air (especially downfield), the issue in the ref's mind has become "prove to me that you HAVEN'T committed pass interference or I'm throwing the flag".Someone pointed out to me that the AAC & Mountain West refs are some of the most whistle happy refs in NCAA football and I can see it. They are trying to move up to a Power 5 gig and want to show they are not afraid to throw a flag, especially on judgment calls like pass interference. It would be interesting to see how many penalty yards are called per game in these Conferees vs. some of the Power 5 conferences.
As of November 23, 2019, seven of the ten most penalized teams in FBS are AAC teams....Cincinnati is the most penalized, we do lead the world in pre snap penalties, but it does seem odd that the whole league draws so many flags. The Temple-UC game tonight will be a 4+hour marathon. Our crew has a drinking game, everybody takes a shot of Beam each time the ref announces "The previous play is under review".Someone pointed out to me that the AAC & Mountain West refs are some of the most whistle happy refs in NCAA football and I can see it.

I agree. I said as much to my son right away before I even saw a review. They were adamant weren’t they?Those announcers really wanted a targeting call on Forrest, who completely did not target.
Really was a poorly played game by both teams. Hard to watch at times.We are lucky to be winning alot of these games. I wish I could've watched the 2nd half but weather decided to ice over my satellite so i had to settle for the ESPN app.
15-13 Cincinnati Final
I'm not sure if it's time to put in Ben Bryant or not. Alec Pierce also seemed to struggle catching the football also.Really was a poorly played game by both teams. Hard to watch at times.
I was laughing when he jumped again on the very first play. He did however block the extra point which turned out to be the key play of the game.uc offense is horrid. the german had 3 penalties in first half. receivers can't catch (when ball is actually right to them) which isn't very often. good thing defense is good. i hope not, but memphis may drop 50 on them.

What are the chances Prater starts over Ridder next season?
