Both teams have won their only conference challenge so this game will determine who stays on top and who falls out of their position on the Big East.

No.8 Cincinnati Bearcats have been playing in a great way and they are starting to raise some interest in the Big East, they are undefeated with 2 wins at home and 3 on the road, that is pretty solid and they look good fdoing it too. One guy who has been responsible for the Bearcats success is QB Tony Pike, who has 13 touchdowns and 3 interceptions for the year, that is as we said before pretty great. Rushing has been a downside this year for the Bearcats, may be this is exactly where their biggest weakness is located, RB Jacob Ramsey and RB Isaiah Pead have good numbers but not good enough to give the Bearcats the points they need in order to defeat a nationally rank team. By air will be Cincinnati’s best chance to make it happen. WR Marshwan Gilyard has scored 7 tds so far this year and this is what cinci and the offense know how to do best, they need to rely in the air game and hope for the best.

No.21 South Florida Bulls march right behind Cincinnati on the Big East but their records are exactly the same, 2 wins at home, 3 on the road and 1 conference win, this game will decide who stays in second and who goes to third or worst. South Florida’s weakness is the air game, QB B.J. Daniels and QB Matt Grothe share the offense, that is something we have seen a few times on NCAA, may be this is exactly why the team’s weak side is the air, they should give the job to just one of them and stick with the decision. WR Carlton Mitchell and WR Dontavia Bogan have helped a lot and they both have great numbers but as I said before just one person should throw the pigskin and may be they will do better. The rushing game is South Florida’s strong point, RB Moise Plancher and even the QB B.J. Daniels help in this department and quite a lot, this is the place where some of the most important plays of the season come from. They need to control the clock and stop Cinci if they want to beat them here, they should use all their weapons on defense and chew the clock.

CINCINNATI BEARCATS -3
SOUTH FLORIDA BULLS

CINCINNATI BEARCATS AS NO.8 OF THE COUNTRY HAS THE OBLIGATION OF BRINGING THEIR BEST GAME TO MAKE IT HAPPEN ON THIS GAME. IN MY OPINION SOUTH FLORIDA +3 AT HOME IS A GREAT PICK SO IT WILL BE A LONG NIGHT FOR THE BEARCATS AND A LONG WAY HOME WITH A LOSS.
